News Corp Sues Brave Over AI Article Theft

News Corp has filed countersuits against Brave Software accusing it of distributing and selling Wall Street Journal and New York Post articles to AI companies without permission, seeking injunctive relief and up to $150,000 per infringement as part of a broader clash over AI training content. Brave had previously sued News Corp claiming its practices were legal fair use, while News Corp argues Brave’s scraping and bundling exceed fair use, illustrating a surge of litigation between publishers and technology firms over copyrighted news content used for AI.
