Who Owns Midjourney AI Output? Commercial Use Rights

Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

can I sell AI-generated images commercially. I've been dealing with this for about 8 months now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves original creative work over the past 33 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under 17 U.S.C. § 106. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct substantially similar.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.
