The newspapers said in the complaints, opens new tab ​that Brave illegally sells their content to AI companies including ​Anthropic, Perplexity and xAI — which are not defendants in the ⁠cases — in addition to infringing their copyrights by allowing users to ​access their articles for free

The outlets' lawsuits ​filed on ⁠Monday said that Brave "acts both like a burglar that misappropriates the content of publishers, and an AI 'fence' that ​sells stolen content to third parties"

Yes I read that too. It's all allegations still. Did brave make a home-IP botnet?

Brave is the commercial arm of a far right hate group.

I'd say that's worse than a news website with paywalls.

Do you mind providing more details, for those of us who aren't informed about this? Is it something aside from their CEO?

Let their lawsuits be long and their lawyers slow and costly.

Maybe they lose on the paywall bypass but not on the AI bullshit.
