RIAA Thanks Disney & Universal for Jumping Into AI Copyright War: ‘Critical Stand for Human Creativity’


Disney and Universal's lawsuit against an AI firm is being applauded by record labels. The RIAA calls it a "critical stand for human creativity."

The RIAA is throwing its support behind a blockbuster copyright lawsuit filed by Disney and Universal against artificial intelligence firm Midjourney, calling the case “a critical stand for human creativity.” Disney and Universal’s new case, which comes as major music companies litigate their own infringement suits against AI firms, “represents a critical stand for human creativity and responsible innovation,” RIAA chairman/CEO Mitch Glazier wrote in a statement. “Midjourney’s conduct misappropriates Disney’s and Universal’s intellectual property and threatens to upend the bedrock incentives of U.S. copyright law that drive American leadership in movies, television, and other creative arts.”
