Warner Bros. is seeking either all profits \u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/midjourney-unveils-v1-the-first-video-generation-model-from-the-company\">Midjourney\u003C/a> has earned from the alleged infringements or a hefty $150,000 per infringed work.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>With thousands of characters involved — spanning DC Comics, Looney Tunes, and *\u003Cstrong>Rick and Morty\u003C/strong>*—potential damages could reach into the billions, putting significant pressure on the AI company.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>The case draws parallels to a recent settlement in a lawsuit against Anthropic, another AI firm, where authors claimed copyright violations. That settlement, reportedly worth $1.5 billion, saw a judge uphold some AI training practices as fair use, a precedent Midjourney might lean on. However, \u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/warner-bros-discovery-splits-in-two-a-budding-media-divide\">Warner Bros\u003C/a>. could counter with the judge’s acknowledgment of Anthropic’s use of pirated libraries, framing Midjourney’s actions as similarly unlawful. This dual-edged ruling leaves room for both sides to argue their positions, with the outcome potentially setting a major precedent for the entertainment industry and AI development.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Chr />\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Also read:\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cul>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/catch-google-in-the-world-of-image-generation-find-ai-art-in-seconds\">Catch Google in the World of Image Generation – Find AI Art in Seconds!\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/tech-experts-prepare-for-ai-apocalypse-with-bunkers-and-island-retreats\">Tech Experts Prepare for AI Apocalypse with Bunkers and Island Retreats\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/lionsgate-takes-stephen-king-s-the-long-walk-title-too-literally-viewers-must-walk-on-treadmills-at-3-mph-during-screening\">Lionsgate Takes Stephen King’s The Long Walk Title Too Literally: Viewers Must Walk on Treadmills at 3 MPH During Screening\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\n\u003Cp>As the legal battle unfolds, the involvement of three major studios underscores growing concerns about AI’s unchecked use of creative content.
