Background (AI generated)

On June 11, 2025, Disney and Universal filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Midjourney, alleging unauthorized use of their copyrighted characters to train its AI models and generate images. (reuters.com) The studios claim that Midjourney's actions constitute "blatant plagiarism" and seek damages and an injunction to prevent further infringement. (wired.com)

This lawsuit is among the first major legal actions by Hollywood studios against an AI company, potentially setting a precedent for how copyright law applies to AI-generated content. (time.com)
