They don't have the standing in court to represent others - that's why only their own characters are mentioned. But the precedent this case sets can still be used to help others defend their own copyrighted work.

That's not my point. They're going after the *production* of images of their trademarked characters. That basis could be (and has been) directed at any fanartist.

They are not going after the usage of copywritten works to feed the algorithms in the first place, which is the actual problem people complain about WRT AI generated images.

Ah I see. The problem could be they don't have literal proof that Midjourney fed their copyrighted work into their model yet beyond what it produces. In this section here, they're asking Midjourney to identify what they copied. bsky.app/profile/edzi...
