Stability AI](https://stablediffusionfrivolous.com/cases/getty-v-stability-ai/): Getty alleges Stability AI copied more than 12 million photographs, captions, and metadata from its collection to train Stable Diffusion. The case tests whether mass ingestion of licensed imagery for commercial model training can ever qualify as fair use. - [Andersen v. Stability AI](https://stablediffusionfrivolous.com/cases/andersen-v-stability-ai/): The original class-action against generative image models. The case that prompted the creation of this website in 2023.

OpenAI & Microsoft](https://stablediffusionfrivolous.com/cases/nyt-v-openai/): The highest-profile AI copyright suit. The Times presents 100+ examples of verbatim reproduction by GPT-4 and argues OpenAI's fair-use defense collapses when outputs substitute for the original.

Perlmutter](https://stablediffusionfrivolous.com/cases/thaler-v-perlmutter/): The DC Circuit affirmed the Copyright Office's refusal to register an AI-authored work, holding that copyright requires human authorship.

Meta (LLaMA training)](https://stablediffusionfrivolous.com/cases/france-v-llama/): CNIL enforcement action challenging the lawful basis for training LLaMA models on EU resident data. The case tests whether legitimate-interest is an adequate GDPR basis for AI training at scale. - [BBC v.
