Midjourney responded to a lawsuit from Disney and Universal, arguing that the studios cannot stop AI training and cannot ‘have it both ways’ on AI. “Copyright law does not confer absolute control over the use of copyrighted works,” Midjourney’s lawyers argued. “The limited monopoly granted by copyright must give way to fair use, which safeguards countervailing public interests in the free flow of ideas and information.”
