Midjourney challenges court limits and seeks disclosure of how studios use AI

Friends, I’d like to share a development from the AI and media space.

In its dispute with Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros., Midjourney is seeking disclosure of how the studios themselves use generative AI.

So far, the court has narrowed the request to cases where AI was used for outward-facing content — videos and images intended for audiences.

Midjourney argues this is unfair and is pushing for full access to documents, prompts, and outputs, saying the studios may be doing the same thing they accuse the startup of.

Why it matters: the case could shape how courts assess fair use, discovery, and the use of copyrighted material to train AI.

Do you think this will become a precedent for the entire industry?
