New York Times sues Brave browser for allegedly scraping and distributing copyrighted content.

The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against Brave, a privacy-focused web browser, accusing it of scraping the newspaper's copyrighted content and distributing it to AI companies like Anthropic and Perplexity. The suit claims Brave built an index of over 30 billion webpages using a crawler that publishers cannot block, and also criticizes Brave's paywall bypass and ad-blocking features. This legal action follows similar suits against other AI-related companies and seeks an injunction and damages. Brave has yet to respond publicly to the allegations.
