NYT sues Brave Software for selling scraped AI content

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The New York Times and three other newspapers have filed a lawsuit against Brave Software, alleging unauthorized scraping and sale of copyrighted content to AI companies. The lawsuit claims Brave collected billions of web pages without disclosing its crawler, enabling the sale of content to entities like Anthropic, Perplexity, Mistral, xAI, and Cohere. The New York Times estimates Brave profited over $100 million from these sales without sharing revenue with publishers, also citing Brave's "Paywall bypass" feature as a point of contention. AI

IMPACT This lawsuit highlights growing legal challenges for AI companies and data aggregators regarding the use of copyrighted material for training models.
