AI CONTENT THEFT LAWSUITS
Content creators are discovering that their original videos, images, and audio may have been quietly used to train powerful commercial AI systems—often without permission, payment, or even notification.
As AI companies race to build the next generation of models, creators’ copyrighted material has become the fuel for algorithms worth billions. Many creators are now asking: Was my content taken? Were my rights violated?
EKSM is ready to represent content creators whose original work may have been used to train commercial AI systems without authorization. As the AI industry accelerates, companies are ingesting massive amounts of creator-generated content. Many creators are unaware that their files may have been accessed through automated scraping tools or dataset aggregation practices. If your content lives online, it may have been used to develop AI models without your consent.
Certain AI companies may have violated federal and state laws by bypassing access controls, copying protected content, or harvesting creator material at scale. Key legal theories include violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s anti-circumvention provisions (17 U.S.C. §1201), copyright infringement, breach of terms-of-service, misappropriation, and unjust enrichment—all grounded in one fundamental concept: creators have legal rights when their protected content is taken and used to train commercial AI models.
For creators, this isn’t just a legal issue—it’s a fight for ownership, credit, and fair compensation. Your creativity, time, and brand were never meant to be taken, copied, or fed into a tech giant’s AI system without consent. Our firm is actively investigating whether creators’ work—across all major content platforms—has been used without authorization. If your content appears in large-scale AI training datasets, was copied via scraping tools, or was accessed in ways that circumvented platform protections, you may have a claim and could be entitled to statutory damages or other relief. By filling out the short form below, you’ll take the first step toward holding AI companies accountable. You can be first in line to have your channel evaluated for AI content theft claims.
