BTCCSquare news:
Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros. have filed a joint lawsuit against Shanghai-based AI unicorn MiniMax in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The lawsuit alleges copyright infringement through MiniMax's generative tool, Hailuo AI, which enables users to create videos featuring copyrighted characters like Spider-Man and Shrek.
The case mirrors Hollywood's broader legal push against AI firms leveraging intellectual property without authorization. MiniMax, valued at $3 billion and reportedly eyeing an IPO, now faces significant legal and financial risks. The outcome could set a precedent for how AI-generated content interacts with existing copyright frameworks.
