News Corp Sues Brave Over AI Article Theft

8 sourcesUpdated Jul 22, 2026

News Corp has countersued Brave Software, accusing Brave of ‘flagrant theft’ by distributing and selling versions of articles from the Wall Street Journal and New York Post to AI companies without permission, and it seeks an injunction plus up to $150,000 per infringement. Brave had previously sued News Corp, arguing its use of snippets was fair use and that News Corp was attempting to block legitimate AI development. The litigation underscores a broader clash between publishers and technology platforms over the use of copyrighted news content to support AI. News Corp contends Brave’s unauthorized scraping and resale undermines licensing incentives and revenue for publishers. Brave maintains it is challenging News Corp’s business practices in a bid to defend its AI-enabled search and content offerings. The cases involve News Corp’s stake in major outlets and the Murdoch family, highlighting how traditional publishers are pursuing legal avenues to protect their content as AI tools proliferate.
