   Complaints name Anthropic, Perplexity and xAI in Brave scraping suit

   2 outlets · first: The Verge Regulation

   Machine summary Publisher complaints filed Monday in Manhattan federal court allege Brave Software sold AI companies paid access to an index of more than 30 billion scraped webpages, including real-time online content from the Brave Index. The filings name Anthropic, Perplexity, Mistral, xAI and Cohere among the companies alleged to have received that material for training models or answering user queries. Brave had not responded to a request for comment at the time TechCrunch reported.

   1. The New York Times sued Brave Software in federal court in Manhattan on Monday, and the New York Daily News, Chicago Tribune and Orlando Sentinel filed a similar suit the same day, according to The Verge and TechCrunch.
   2. Both reports name Anthropic, Perplexity, Mistral, xAI and Cohere as AI companies the complaints allege received scraped content through paid access to the Brave Index.
   3. The Times' complaint, quoted by TechCrunch, characterizes Brave as a "supplier, dealer, and distributor of stolen copyrighted content" and likens it to a burglar and an AI "fence."
   4. Damages and an injunction are sought by The Times; TechCrunch reports that Brave gave no immediate reply to a comment request.
   5. Founded in 2015, Brave has brought in roughly $250 million so far, per private‑market trackers that TechCrunch references; the Times has likewise sued OpenAI and Perplexity on comparable allegations.
