A new lawsuit was filed against Luma AI. This one involves a video ad fro Luma’s Ray 3.14 model. The ad allegedly included a portion copied from the TV series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, episode 9: “The Lives of the Stars,” broadcast on November 23, 1980.
In that episode, Sagan said a famous line, in an 8-second clip: “If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.”
The complaint alleged that Luma AI took the position that the use was de minimis.
I haven’t seen the ad, although will try to track it down.
Luma describes the company: “Agents research, generate, and refine across video, image, audio, and text, and your brand holds steady through all of it. Ten directions before the morning standup. Fifty variants by end of day. The client meeting opens with the work.”
