Tesla, Warner Bros. Sued For Using AI Ripoff Of Iconic Blade Runner Image

But the producers argued that the defense was “not credible” since Tesla had expressly asked to be used Blade Runner 2049 Image, and WBD has “good” films in its library to promote Mask's message, eg mad max the movie

“But those movies don't have mass consumer goodwill, especially around really cool-looking (Academy Award-winning) artificially intelligent, autonomous cars,” the complaint said, accusing Musk of stealing the film when it wasn't given to him.

If Tesla and WBD are found to have violated copyright and false representation laws, it potentially puts both companies on the hook for damages that cover not only copyright penalties but also Alcon's lost profits and reputational damage after the alleged “massive economic theft.”

Kasturi replied Blade Runner suit

Alcon doubts Musk believed it Blade Runner 2049 WBD was eligible to use the event under the contract, not knowing that WBD never “had any non-domestic rights or permissions to the images.”

Ask to use musk once Blade Runner Imagery, Alcon alleged that WBD scrambled to secure the rights by positioning their request as a request for much less expensive “clip licensing” by obfuscating the very lucrative “larger brand affiliation proposition.”

After Alcon rejected the offer outright, WBD told Tesla that the affiliation at the event could not happen because X planned to livestream the event worldwide. But even though Tesla and X reportedly knew the affiliation had been rejected, Musk appears to have gone ahead with the event as planned.

“It all smacks of a flimsy excuse to associate Tesla's CyberCab with a powerful Hollywood brand,” Alcon's complaint said. “Of course that's exactly what it was.”

Alcon hopes a jury will find Tesla, Musk and WBD violated the law. Producers have sought an injunction to stop Tesla from using them Blade Runner Images in its promotional or advertising campaigns. They also want a disclaimer on X's livestreamed event video, stating that Blade Runner The association is “false or misleading.”

In response to the lawsuit, Musk took to X to post what Blade Runner Fans — who rated the 2017 movie 88 percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes — may consider a polarizing take, replying, “This movie sucks,” calling Alcon's lawsuit “absurd” in a post.
