"Getty had accused Stability AI of using its images to train its Stable Diffusion system, which generates images from text inputs. The case itself is actually technically straightforward: Getty claimed that URLs of Getty images were included within Stability AI's LAION dataset, which is the training model that powers its "Stable Diffusion" v1 and v2 image generation tools."
"Getty further claimed that some re-creations made through Stable Diffusion even included a variation of the Getty watermark, which is further evidence that its copyright-protected works had been used to build this model."
"an AI poetry author sought damages for the reuse of his work without permission, claiming that his generated content had been essentially stolen for commercial reuse. "Because many of the Copyright Act's provisions make sense only if an author is a human being, the best reading of the Copyright Act is that human authorship is required for registration.""
Getty alleged that Stability AI used Getty images to train the Stable Diffusion image generator by including Getty image URLs in the LAION training dataset that powers Stable Diffusion v1 and v2. Getty asserted that some outputs from Stable Diffusion included a variation of the Getty watermark, which it presented as evidence of use of copyright-protected works in model training. An AI poetry author sought damages alleging reuse of his work without permission and commercial appropriation of generated content. A legal position was stated that the Copyright Act requires human authorship for registration.
