Disney and Warner Bros. Take AI Copyright Battle to Courtroom
In a groundbreaking copyright battle, Disney and Warner Bros. urge a federal judge not to dismiss a lawsuit against AI companies MiniMax and Hailuo AI. Accused of training video generation tools on copyrighted characters without permission, the studios aim to combat the unauthorized use of beloved icons like Star Wars, Superman, and Minions. With claims of direct and secondary infringement and potential damages reaching $150,000 per infringed work, this case is a landmark in the growing struggle between Hollywood and AI firms over intellectual property rights.
