On June 11, 2025, Disney and NBCUniversal filed a landmark 110-page copyright infringement lawsuit against Midjourney, a generative AI image and video tool developer. The studios allege that Midjourney's AI has been trained on their copyrighted material without authorization, describing the platform as "a bottomless pit of plagiarism." This legal action marks the first major Hollywood effort to hold an AI company accountable for copyright violations. Despite the lawsuit, Midjourney recently released a new V1 video tool capable of generating animations featuring characters such as Shrek, Deadpool, and Wall-E, raising further concerns about intellectual property rights. The case is viewed by industry observers as a potential precedent-setting battle that could reshape copyright enforcement in the AI sector. The lawsuit underscores tensions between traditional content creators and emerging AI technologies that can produce highly realistic images and videos, which studios argue threaten their business models.
