The New York Times and other publishers, including the owners of the New York Daily News, Chicago Tribune, and Orlando Sentinel, filed a lawsuit against Brave Software on November 3, accusing the browser maker of scraping copyrighted content for AI use without permission and enabling users to bypass paywalls. According to The Verge, the complaint alleges Brave monetizes the practice by selling paid access to its scraped web index to AI companies, including Anthropic, Perplexity, Mistral, xAI, and Cohere, for model training or responding to user queries. The Times said it repeatedly asked Brave to stop the alleged infringement, while Brave had not immediately responded to requests for comment. The case adds to a growing wave of publisher litigation over AI training data and could set precedent for how scraping-based AI businesses operate. Watch for Brave's formal response and whether more publishers join the suit.
