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”

That moment when you don’t even know who you want to lose more
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?
It’s the CEO and founder and that’s plenty.
Let their lawsuits be long and their lawyers slow and costly.
Maybe they lose on the paywall bypass but not on the AI bullshit.
