The entertainment giant claims Midjourney brazenly used its works to generate images of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Bugs Bunny and Scooby-Doo without permission.
The company also alleged that Midjourney knew its conduct was wrongful because it once blocked subscribers from generating videos from infringing images before lifting that protection last month.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and disgorgement of profits along with a halt to further infringements.
San Francisco-based Midjourney had nearly 21 million users as of September 2024 and an estimated $300 million of revenue in 2024 according to Warner Bros’ complaint.
In an August filing in the Disney and Universal case, Midjourney argued that copyright law does not confer absolute control over the use of copyrighted works.
Many authors, news media, record labels and other copyright owners have accused AI companies of using their materials without permission in various lawsuits.
“We filed this suit to protect our content, our partners and our investments.”
Warner Bros Discovery’s operations include Warner Bros Entertainment, Turner Entertainment, DC Comics, Hanna-Barbera and The Cartoon Network. – Reuters
