Midjourney wants Hollywood studios to reveal the details of their AI usage

Midjourney is trying to compel three Hollywood studios to reveal details about how they use AI as part of an ongoing legal fight. The move appears aimed at probing whether the studios’ own practices are relevant to claims against the AI image-generation company.

The request highlights a growing legal tactic in AI copyright disputes: scrutinizing plaintiffs’ own use of generative tools. If granted, the discovery could expose industry norms and complicate studios’ efforts to draw hard lines around acceptable AI use.
