Last week, host Peter Csathy called for Hollywood studios to finally cast aside their silence and join the AI copyright fight - to loudly voice the creative community's concerns about AI developers using their copyrighted works without consent and compensation. And two days later, Disney and NBCUniversal finally did - they sued generative image AI company Midjourney.

In this episode, Csathy's synthetic co-hosts discuss Csathy's most recent article, update and analysis of it all from his "the brAIn" newsletter, titled "Hollywood Finally Enters the AI Copyright Fight!" It's a focused - yet far-ranging discussion - of all the relevant key business and legal issues surrounding Disney's and NBCU's new lawsuit against Midjourney, as well as a preview of what to expect next.

Csathy generated the episode using Google NotebookLM - and he approves its content (and believes the conversation is helpful, insightful, and engaging).
