Litigation

All cases
  1. Disney v. MidjourneyUnited States District Court for the Central District of California · 2026
    Pending
    Lessons learned
    • A subscription service that generates content on request can be sued as a direct infringer, with secondary liability pleaded in the alternative if subscribers are said to be the direct infringers.
    • Plaintiffs pointed to a service's own terms and content filters as evidence that it can control outputs.
    • The defendant's pleaded defences include fair use, implied licence and the DMCA safe harbours, so the case may test how far those apply to image generation.
