Judge William Orrick has ruled in favor of Midjourney, DeviantArt, and Stability AI in a class-action lawsuit filed by three artists. The artists accused the companies and their generative AI programs of copyright infringement. Judge Orrick dismissed most of the claims, stating that the case was flawed due to a lack of evidence. The charges included copyright infringement, violation of the Digital Millennium copyright act, violation of the statutory right of publicity, unfair competition, and breach of contract violation. The judge allowed the artists to amend their claim and provided them with 30 days to submit more proof. This ruling could have significant implications for other ongoing copyright infringement cases involving generative AI in the United States.
