## AI 摘要

菲律宾数字艺术家Elmer Saflor（网名“Superelmer”）起诉Memes Apps, LLC，指控其旗下平台Memes.ai和Memes AI Studio未经许可，将他的“Running Away Balloon”漫画作为付费广告生成器的模板出售，侵犯版权。该漫画自2017年起成为流行模因，但Saflor认为大规模商业化使用其作品并不合法。

## 正文

Artist Elmer Saflor, who goes by the online handle “Superelmer,” loves that millions of people have shared his “Running Away Balloon” comic since it became a popular meme in 2017.

However, just because lots of people have copied it, that doesn’t mean it’s OK for an AI meme generator to commercialize his copyrighted meme as a template for who knows how many ads, he told Ars. That’s why he’s fighting to stop one of the biggest meme generators currently leveraging AI to rapidly scale the allegedly illegal use.

In a lawsuit filed earlier this month, Saflor, a digital creator and artist in the Philippines, alleged that Memes Apps, LCC—which operates the content creation platforms Memes.ai and Memes AI Studio—violated copyright law by selling paid subscriptions to an ad generator that spits out copies of his comic without permission.
