I just sent the Joseph Saveri Law Firm (representing Brom, Sarah Andersen, and Adam Ellis in the suit against Midjourney) an inquiry about being added as a plaintiff via this contact form. I suggest everyone that appears on that list does the same. www.saverilawfirm.com/contact-us/
Saw you @shaenon.bsky.social talk of this, op's info might helpm
Hubs is gonna send this on to his brother, see if we can get the Quinton Hoover estate on there.
Does anyone know if the firm is allowed to provide details about the work sampled? My wife’s name is on the list, but there is another visual artist with the same name.
Good luck!
@fredrin.megatokyo.com Saw your name on the list. Wasn't sure if you were aware?
Go get them!
i wonder if there's ever going to be a way to do something if you've found your work in the LAION database that everything was built on, even if it isn't properly attributed to you (i admit being mildly insulted lmao)
What a great way to kick off 2024
They stole from Kaffe Fassett. OMG.
I would not go against Sarah Andersen if I were them. That comic has reach and the blowback from the fans will make Mid journey the kind of smoking crater Werner Herzog waxes poetically and cynically about in a documentary.
