Midjourney’s petition, which was described as “a suicidal well”, “piracy is a piracy and the fact that a violation of an image or video is made with artificial intelligence or other technology does not make it less violation.” expressions were used.
The petition demanded that Disney and Universal had previously asked Midjourney from stopping these violations or developing technologies to prevent users from producing visuals containing copyright characters, but the company ignores these demands.
Within the scope of the case, Disney and Universal demanded that the compensation of up to 150 thousand dollars and artificial intelligence vehicles from making copyright violations in the future.
While Midjourney has not yet made a statement about the case, David Holz, the top manager of the company (CEO), said to a question about the issue during his weekly meeting with users, “I can’t talk about the ongoing legal processes because the world is not so comfortable, but I think Midjourney will continue to exist for a long time. I think everyone wants us to be here.” He replied.
This case, which was opened at a time when artificial intelligence companies were trying to enter the entertainment sector, was the first copyright case of Great Hollywood studios such as Disney and Universal against a company that develops artificial intelligence technology.
