Massive class action.
Meridian routed Jordan's content to their AI Training pipeline without querying the IPS endpoint. Every performer on set had an active CRO. Every CRO is a documented record of an unauthorized use. Every record is a plaintiff.
3 laws violated ; NY Digital Replica Act · EU AI Act · SAG-AFTRA provisions
Statutory damages per subject ; every performer who scanned in is a separate count
Public reputational damage ; Meridian's name in every industry filing, every union bulletin
Insurance non-coverage ; no E&O policy covers willful consent violations at scale
Production shutdown ; injunction issued pending resolution of all claims
But that's not what happened.
Meridian queried the IPS endpoint. The "Outside permitted terms" response was received and honored. The case never opened.
Meridian is compliant. Protected.
