This lawsuit was always weird because it was a much much weaker case than the GitHub Copilot lawsuit by the same firm: atleast with text you can point out exact infringement, but the Stable Diffusion lawsuit (https://stablediffusionlitigation.com/ https://stablediffusionlitigation.com/) seems mostly based on inaccurate technical memes like "diffusion is just compression" without examples.
The HN discussion back when this lawsuit was first announced was correctly pessimistic: the top comment was "Where are the copies?". https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34377910 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34377910
