Midjourney Pushes Courts to Expose Studios' Own AI Systems in Copyright Fight

Midjourney filed a motion to compel Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros. to disclose their internal generative AI workflows—not just public outputs—in a consolidated copyright lawsuit. A judge had limited prior disclosure to consumer-facing tools; Midjourney now seeks broader access to the studios' proprietary systems. The ruling could determine how far defendants can probe plaintiffs' AI practices in litigation.
