The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against Brave, alleging the browser company functions as a distributor of stolen news content. The complaint centres on Brave's tools that block publisher paywalls and on partnerships with AI firms that the Times says profit from its journalism without permission. The case adds to a widening legal fight between news publishers and technology companies over how digital content is accessed and reused.
Why now: It is the latest escalation in the ongoing legal battle between news publishers and tech companies over paywalls and AI use of copyrighted content.
