Image Generators File Motion to Dismiss
Summary
On February 9, 2024, the AI image generator companies involved in a copyright case moved to dismiss in response to an amended complaint. As reported in November, U.S. District Judge William Orrick (N. D. Cal.) dismissed most of the claims in the original complaint, but gave the plaintiff an opportunity to amend the complaint. The image generator companies argue that the amended complaint fails to cure the defects of the first dismissal, including a lack of facts and plausible theories of liability.
