Walt Disney (DIS.N) and Comcast’s (CMCSA.O) Universal filed a copyright lawsuit against Midjourney this week, calling its popular AI-powered image generator a “bottomless pit of plagiarism” for its use of the studios’ best-known characters.
The suit, filed in federal district court in Los Angeles, claims Midjourney pirated the libraries of the two Hollywood studios, making and distributing without permission “innumerable” copies of characters such as Darth Vader from “Star Wars,”
