A federal judge in California has blocked an attempt by several AI companies to have portions of a copyright case dismissed
A group of visual artists have scored a small victory in court. On 12 August, US District Judge William Orrick ruled that the companies Stability AI, Midjourney, DeviantArt and Runway AI were violating artists' rights by illegally storing their works in their image generation systems. While Orrick refused to dismiss trademark claims related to the matter, he threw out accusations of unjust enrichment and breach of contract, in addition to allegations that the companies' behaviours were in violation of a second US copyright law, Reuters reported.
