The New York Times and other publishers sued Brave Software. They allege Brave scraped their sites to train AI models. Brave also let users bypass paywalls without permission. The publishers say Brave sold access to their content to AI firms. Named firms include Anthropic, Perplexity, Mistral, xAI and Cohere. Brave never asked for permission or paid for the material. The publishers seek to stop the practice and hold Brave accountable.
