Getty Images is asking the court to make the London, UK-based Stability AI remove the violating images and pay up to $150,000 “for each infringed image,” alongside other damages for violating copyright law. Of course, if Stability AI were found to have violated copyright on the 12 million images and was fined the max amount, the damages would be obscene. Getty did include a list of more than 7,000 images plus metadata and copyright registration the company said was used to train Stable Diffusion.
