Disney and NBCUniversal have filed a landmark lawsuit against AI company Midjourney, accusing it of large-scale copyright infringement. The studios allege Midjourney’s image generator creates unauthorized visuals of iconic characters like Darth Vader, Elsa, Shrek, and others, calling the tool a “bottomless pit of plagiarism.” Filed in Los Angeles federal court, the suit claims Midjourney used copyrighted content to train its AI and ignored requests to stop. The studios seek an injunction and damages, arguing the company profits from their intellectual property without permission.
