Disney and Universal Studios are suing MidJourney AI for copying their shyt

[Seoul Gleou]

So midjourney is the new napster

wonder who will be the new Kazaa

this is where the real fun begins

the fact that disney and universal are suing an AI company is an open invitation to find that company's replacement

if DeepSeek is any indication, Kazaa/Limewire, etc, will come out of China or the Middle East

In other words, this is futile. Going after midjourney gets rid of midjourney. Literally thousands of the same thing will pop up in its place. Getting rid of Napster didn't kill music piracy and killing ThePirateBay didn't stop torrent pirating.

It's not going to stop it entirely, no. However, it will stop the big guys and stop those using their IP to make money, which is what they really care about.

Midjourney may be the sacrificial lamb

There's no way they can fight back. They're going to have to sell similar to open AI and Microsoft. They need the money of a tech giant to fight the litigation of Disney.

Not too long ago people were proclaiming how liberating AI was for small time creators without the resources or creative skills to see their ideas realized. But in the end it's gonna be only these mega corporations who'll have the power to truly exploit AI. Eventually they may not even have to hire actors/workers at all.

I agree completely. This is the end game. The whole entertainment industry will eventually become a skeleton crew.


While this would theoretically allow smaller creators to scale much easier, it doesn't work that way in practice. These models are incredibly expensive to run due to the hardware required and the power usage. For example Google's Veo3 can easily run 2 million for a full movie. This is completely unachievable for a small creator, but it is a godsend for the big movie houses which were spending 100 times that number to get the same product.
