Warner Bros Discovery Sues Midjourney Over AI‑Generated Copyright Infringement
Warner Bros Discovery has filed a lawsuit against the AI art platform Midjourney, alleging that its generative technology creates images of the studio’s characters without permission. The suit claims Midjourney’s output reproduces copyrighted works such as Batman, Rick and Morty, and Superman, constituting blatant infringement. Warner Bros Discovery says the case aims to protect its content and investments. The dispute highlights broader questions about how AI systems are trained on publicly available data, the role of fair‑use defenses, and the potential impact on other generative AI services.
