"Warner Bros. Discovery is suing a prominent artificial intelligence image generator for copyright infringement, escalating a high-stakes battle involving the use of movies and TV shows owned by major studios to teach AI systems.

The lawsuit accuses Midjourney, which has millions of registered users, of building its business around the mass theft of content. The company “brazenly dispenses Warner Bros. Discovery’s intellectual property” by letting subscribers produce images and videos of iconic copyrighted characters, alleges the complaint, filed on Thursday in California federal court.

“The heart of what we do is develop stories and characters to entertain our audiences, bringing to life the vision and passion of our creative partners,” said a Warner Bros. Discovery spokesperson in a statement. “Midjourney is blatantly and purposefully infringing copyrighted works, and we filed this suit to protect our content, our partners, and our investments.”

For years, AI companies have been training their technology on data scraped across the internet without compensating creators. It’s led to lawsuits from authors, record labels, news organizations, artists and studios, which contend that some AI tools erode demand for their content.

Warner Bros. Discovery joins Disney and Universal, which earlier this year teamed up to sue Midjourney. By their thinking, the AI company is a free-rider plagiarizing their movies and TV shows."

In 2023, GQ wrote an honest piece about David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Brothers Discovery.

Zaslav didn't like it, so had it pulled and re-written. He likely hoped it would go away, forever.

But the internet is forever, and Zaslav's bad behavior is his own fault.

And an attached PNG (which may or may not get munged by this platform).

Article text sadly won't fit here, so here's a summary: Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav has become the most hated man in Hollywood due to controversial moves that angered the film community. Previously known for reality TV, Zaslav's decisions included streaming films on HBOMax, leading to conflicts with filmmakers like Christopher Nolan. He merged HBOMax and Discovery+ services and removed prestigious content. Turner Classic Movies lost key executives, and Zaslav planned to sell half of the film and TV-music library. Critics fear his focus on profits undermines cinema's rich history, likening him to a corporate raider stripping a distressed conglomerate for parts.

It'd be cool to say that my most enduring and frequent source of media references, in my own mind, in my own headspace, is something like Doctor Who or Trek or Peanuts or Muppets or something, and those are HUGE to me ... but after all these decades, I can acknowledge that nothing will ever un-seat old Warner Brothers cartoons as my most basic framework for understanding the universe.

Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny share a moment.

WARNER PREPARA UNA PELÍCULA DE LOS "OSITOS CARIÑOSITOS" (#CareBears).

El día de ayer se ha dado a conocer que el director Josh Greenbaum dirigirá la cinta de los "Ositos Cariñositos" para #WarnerBros.
En muchos sitios se está anunciando como una cinta live-action pero la fuente original de la noticia que es #Deadline no dice en ningún momento que vaya a ser así!
Puede que al final lo sea o no, pero de momento no está confirmado que sea live-action!
