Midjourney is pushing back in its copyright fight with three studios by demanding they disclose their own AI usage—a discovery tactic that could expose how deeply film and TV producers already rely on generative tools. If successful, the move could complicate studios' litigation posture by surfacing internal AI practices that mirror the very technology they're suing over.
It's a reminder that AI-copyright discovery fights increasingly cut both ways, with defendants probing plaintiffs' own data and tool usage.
As part of an ongoing legal dispute with three Hollywood studios, Midjourney is seeking to compel those studios to reveal how they use AI themselves.
