News Corp Countersues Brave Over Alleged Copyright Infringement of Articles for AI Use
News Corp has filed a countersuit against search engine Brave in a California federal court, accusing it of unauthorized scraping and resale of copyrighted articles from The Wall Street Journal and New York Post to AI companies. News Corp seeks an injunction and damages, arguing Brave's actions exceed fair use and harm publishers by profiting without licensing content. Brave had earlier sued News Corp seeking legal clarity after receiving a cease-and-desist letter. The dispute reflects broader tensions between publishers and tech firms over AI content use.
