[nexa] Copyright class action lawsuit against Sta­bil­ity AI, DeviantArt, and Mid­jour­ney

[Maurizio Borghi]

In Novem­ber 2022 [we filed] a law­suit against GitHub Copi­lot
<https://githubcopilotlitigation.com> for its “unprece­dented open-source
soft­ware piracy”. [*Ne ha dato notizia Giacomo Tesio su questa lista*]

Since then, we’ve heard from peo­ple all over the world—espe­cially
writ­ers, artists, pro­gram­mers, and other cre­ators—who are con­cerned
about AI sys­tems being trained on vast amounts of copy­righted work with
no con­sent, no credit, and no com­pen­sa­tion.

Today, we’re tak­ing another step toward mak­ing AI fair & eth­i­cal for
every­one. On behalf of three won­der­ful artist plain­tiffs—Sarah
Ander­sen, Kelly McK­er­nan, and Karla Ortiz—we’ve filed a class-action
law­suit against Sta­bil­ity AI, DeviantArt, and Mid­jour­ney for their use
of *Sta­ble Dif­fu­sion*, a 21st-cen­tury col­lage tool that remixes the
copy­righted works of mil­lions of artists whose work was used as train­ing
data.
