Fireship's new video dramatizes the existential stakes of the studios' copyright case against Midjourney — a 110-page complaint in the Central District of California alleging mass training-data infringement and seeking an injunction that, if granted, would force at least a temporary shutdown of the service. As of June 2026 the case sits in discovery. For anyone building on or with generative-image tooling, this is the precedent-setting fight over whether training on copyrighted IP without licensing survives in court.
