Bypassing Copyright Protection in Diffusion-based Customization via Two-Stage Latent Feature Optimization

arXiv:2606.09909v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With the growing concerns over copyright infringement in diffusion-based customization, adversarial attacks have emerged as a prominent defense strategy to prevent malicious content forgery in personalized image generation. However, current defenses typically introduce persistent perturbations in the latent space of Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs), which remain susceptible to adaptive bypasses by adversaries. In this paper, we introduce Two-Stage Latent Feature Optimization (TS-LFO), an efficient and effective copyright-stealing attack against p
The proliferation of diffusion models has intensified concerns over intellectual property, driving a race between protection mechanisms and bypass techniques, leading to this advanced attack method.
This development highlights the escalating cat-and-mouse game between AI-driven content generation and copyright enforcement, posing significant challenges for creators and IP holders using diffusion models.
The effectiveness of current adversarial defense strategies against copyright infringement in AI-generated content is now severely undermined, requiring more robust and adaptive protection mechanisms.

- · Generative AI users seeking unauthorized content
- · Cybersecurity firms specializing in AI vulnerabilities
- · Content creators using diffusion models for IP
- · Companies relying on current AI copyright defenses
- · Legal frameworks for digital IP
Existing copyright protection methods for AI-generated media become less reliable, potentially leading to increased unauthorized use.
Increased pressure on AI model developers to integrate more resilient, adaptive security features directly into their architectures.
The development of new legal precedents and industry standards specifically tailored to address AI-driven intellectual property infringement becomes essential.
