- tick_tock_tick 3y agoBasically the judge said the idea AI images generated are infringing on copyright is so stupid it's thrown out. The other part of the case is if the artists copyright was violated when training the AI and they have only claimed that Stability used their art to train.
- starshadowx2 3y agoFor that count specifically, Stability was directly involved with creating and funding the LAION dataset, whereas Midjourney and DeviantArt were not. The DeviantArt direct claim is because of how DeviantArt has been using Stable Diffusion for their DreamUp system, but the direct claim against Midjourney has been less clear from the plaintiffs about whether they're going against Midjourney using Stable Diffusion in one model (beta/test/testp) or their use of training data (like LAION)
- gamblor956 3y agoThe plaintiffs apparently failed to plead sufficient factual allegations to support their infringement claim against MTD, which is a rookie mistake. Factual allegations at this point don't have to be correct (that's what discovery is for), but they do have to at least satisfy the legal requirements for each prong of a legal claim. In many legal pleadings, the plaintiffs will state, "upon information and belief, we [assert X factual allegation]" since they don't yet have the discovery to support a more specific factual allegation.
