Market Chatter: News Corp Accuses Brave of Copyright Infringement in Countersuit

MT Newswires Live07-22

News Corp (NWSA) countersued Brave Software, accusing the search engine company of scraping and selling Wall Street Journal and New York Post articles to artificial intelligence companies without authorization, Reuters reported Tuesday.

The countersuit, filed in federal court in California, seeks an injunction, unspecified damages and statutory damages of up to $150,000 per alleged infringement, the report said.

News Corp argued Brave's alleged practices fall outside the scope of fair use and undermine publishers' ability to license content to AI companies.

News Corp and Brave Software did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
