Brave Software Inc., a search engine startup, has initiated legal action against News Corp in response to the media company's threats of litigation. News Corp, owned by Rupert Murdoch, had demanded compensation for what it claims is the unauthorized scraping and indexing of its content, specifically articles from the Wall Street Journal and New York Post. Brave's lawsuit seeks a federal court ruling to affirm that its use of search summaries and tools for generative AI does not infringe on News Corp's copyrights. This legal confrontation highlights the ongoing tensions between traditional media companies and emerging technology firms.
