PB  - United States District Court (CourtListener)
AB  - Disney, Universal and other major studios filed a joint copyright complaint against Midjourney in June 2025, the first coordinated action by Hollywood studios against an AI image generation company. The complaint alleges wilful infringement of animated and cinematic characters through both training data use and generated outputs, seeking statutory damages across more than 150 listed works. Warner Bros filed a parallel action in September 2025. The case is the defining character-IP test action for the tools used in animation classrooms.
