News Corp countersues Brave for allegedly ‘scraping’ articles for AI

News Corp, facing a lawsuit by search engine Brave Software, has filed a countersuit accusing it of “flagrant theft” in distributing and selling versions of articles from the Wall Street Journal and New York Post to AI companies.

Brave had last ‌year preemptively sued ⁠the ⁠media giant, seeking a court declaration that its practices were legal. It sued after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from News Corp, which is led by the family of Rupert Murdoch.
