Stability AI, Runway and DeviantArt move to dismiss EVOX's car-photo suit, arguing fair use and time bar

What happened

In three motions filed October 12, 2026, the Stability AI entities, Runway AI and DeviantArt asked the court to dismiss EVOX Productions LLC's claims over about 104,000 licensed car photographs that EVOX says were in the LAION datasets used to train Stable Diffusion. The case is EVOX Productions LLC v. Stability AI, Inc. et al., C.D. Cal., No. 2:26-cv-07201 (complaint filed July 2026).

The defendants' arguments

  • Stability AI argues training a general-purpose image model on the photos was fair use as a matter of law; that the training claim is time-barred because Stable Diffusion and the LAION datasets were public by October 2022, over three years before the complaint; that the output claim seeks to protect a photographic "look" (white backgrounds, camera height, lighting) rather than expression; that users, not Stability, generate the outputs; that the contributory claim fails under the Supreme Court's Cox v. Sony intent standard; and that under the Ninth Circuit's Doe v. GitHub a new image lacking EVOX's watermark is not a removal of copyright management information.
  • Runway AI and DeviantArt make similar arguments and add that they did not train the model; DeviantArt says its DreamUp service only used the pre-trained model.
  • A hearing is noticed for January 11, 2027.

Status

These are the defendants' arguments in their motions; the court has not ruled.
