Getty drops copyright allegations in UK lawsuit against Stability AI
- Getty Images dropped its primary copyright infringement claims against Stability AI on Wednesday in London's High Court.
- Getty initiated the lawsuit in February 2023 alleging Stability AI unlawfully scraped millions of images to train its AI model, Stable Diffusion.
- Getty's lawyers characterized the move as strategic, citing weak evidence and lack of knowledgeable witnesses, while continuing claims for trademark infringement and secondary copyright infringement.
- Getty is seeking $1.7 billion in damages for 11,383 works and has decided to focus its legal action exclusively on allegations of trademark infringement, passing off, and secondary copyright infringement.
- The case remains ongoing with Getty pursuing other claims in the UK and a separate U.S. lawsuit, reflecting broader legal debates over AI and copyright.
