The court filing is linked in the first paragraph and worth a read. The article is a bit vague because the claims in the filing are pretty sweeping, but to list some highlights: Brave started selling copyrighted scraped articles in bulk from their search index to AI companies Brave built explicit and targeted functionality into their browser to circumvent newspaper paywalls Brave repeats long, verbatim sections of NYT & other papers’ material on request through their AI web search feature I’m neither an attorney nor a huge fan of IP rights writ large, but in my reading, the newspapers are making a pretty strong case that Brave is consciously stealing and reselling copyrighted material in unaltered form for monetary gain.
