In a significant escalation of the ongoing battle over online content, News Corp has filed a counter lawsuit against Brave Software Inc., alleging that the company has been ‘scraping’ its articles to train artificial intelligence models.
The lawsuit, filed in response to Brave’s initial complaint, claims that Brave’s actions constitute a violation of News Corp’s copyrights and intellectual property rights. News Corp is seeking damages and an injunction to stop Brave from further scraping its content.
Brave had initially sued News Corp, claiming that the media conglomerate was attempting to stifle its ability to summarize and share news articles. However, News Corp’s counter suit turns the tables, arguing that Brave’s practices are unfair and harmful to content creators.
