The New York Times sued Brave browser for scraping copyrighted content and reselling it to AI companies such as Anthropic and Perplexity, accusing it of building a web index library containing 30 billion pages and being unable to block crawlers, while also suing it for bypassing paywalls to block ads. The two cases have been submitted to the Manhattan Federal Court, demanding injunctions and damages.
