Famous AI artist sues US Copyright Office over Midjourney painting
Jason M. Allen, the creator who sparked backlash in 2022 for winning an art contest with a Midjourney image, is now suing the U.S. Copyright Office after it rejected his registration. Allen claims copycats are ripping off 'Théâtre D’opéra Spatial' on OpenSea and Etsy, arguing his extensive prompting and Photoshop edits count as human authorship.
