I suspect the mechanism of that will be that Disney lawyers and/or lobbyists will start throwing their weight around once AI trained on Disney media is making money for someone other than Disney.



Getty Images is suing Stability AI for copyright infringement:

It's a bit hard to argue against. Stable Diffusion was trained on Getty's images and it does reproduce them, watermark included.

Getty Images will win the case.


Getty would still need to prove actual harm, like from use of those images.


Disney IP is still safe. The tech can generate new content but it still isn’t legal to distribute.


We don't know that yet.


Sure we do, AI changes nothing. I could have made the same content manually and it still wouldn't be legal because of the IP ownership on the characters.
