Like his browser of the same name, brave gives Web search system This indexes sites and offers summary of AI -generated pages, which involves scraping and analyzing people’s content. This collection of information, without the payment of royalties, did not annoy the news corporation until the moment when a multinational browser was sent to the developer of the browser, which requires the termination of this practice and compensation in web and compensation for the use of copyright.

As a last resort, perverted that a company that is bemus to call itself bold should be engaged in the content that is so shameful

This is strongly implied that the brave will encounter further legal pain from Mrdock’s family corporation, if it is not inferior, and thus it is preventively appealing to the court for the decision that its practice of search engines – including web -sharing, indexation and results of AI – are legal. The developer accused the media -titanium of engaging in the “anti -competitive campaign of bullying, built on the wrong legal premise to enrich himself” for a good measure.

Robert Thomson, CEO of News Corp, meanwhile, claims that brave violates the law. “There is absolutely” safe harbor “for pirate, parasitic practices that are heard as a traditional” search, “he said in a statement in front of Register.

“The unauthorized integration and resale of our copyright, which is protected by copyright, is a screaming abuse, not fair use. As a last resort, that a company that is bemurically called bold should be engaged in the content that is so bad.”

Bleaken News Corp

February 27 Copyright Advocates News Corp wrote (PDF) Brandan Eich’s Brave Director General, looking for the termination of the intended content, assignment and compensation for what he states is the past unauthorized use and sale of news content.

The letter states: “Brave web sites of News Corp without identifying themselves and without permission, and brave includes the content of Scraped Copyrues News Corp in the search index, which brave licensed and sells third parties through its search API, in competition with its own licenses.

He also accused the bold of the News Corp content because of “additional alternative fragments” that appeared with his bold API search. According to the court of the brave, each of these “fragments” of a maximum of 300 characters is a short abroid of a foreign content intended to provide appropriate answers to users’ requests.

“Brave sells as a company with the public, which, among other things, seeks to” fight the horrific abuse of privacy Big Tech, “-goes in a letter. smiles. “

As mentioned, the courage not only creates a web browser but also works Independent search engine Based on your own search index. Is relatively A few search indices In the world, some of the larger ones governed by Baidu, Google, Microsoft (Bing) and Yandex. Many smaller search engines such as DuckDuckgo rely on the index supplier like Microsoft.

Search systems work through crawling software to obtain and index of content from different web sites. This is supported under the Copyright Law in America in 1998, and this was confirmed in the following court cases as This resolution of 2006 (PDF) The Nevada District Court, which has recognized Google caness of indexed content, qualifies as fair use.

News Corp, however, has long been carefully to the police content and its leaders have a history of attempts to pull out License payments From technical giants.

With the advent of AI generative models and how these neural networks were often prepared for mountains, protected by the author’s content, web and content, is again the subject of legal dispute. Since the generative AI Boom began in 2022, lawsuits initiated by large publishers were prompted by firms that offer AI models to negotiate licenses for copyright protected.

The News Corp letter states that Media Goliath supports AI when it is legally used by referring to its agreement on access to the content with Openai. He also stresses that the publisher will be a court decision to protect his interests by referring to his October 2024 Copyright Claim AI is surprised by AI Upstart Web Square.

The letter additionally requires that the bold ones provide various business recordings, including a list of any AI companies that have access to the content of the new corps with the bold search of the API and the bold generalizer, as well as the commercial conditions of these agreements.

Brave, trying to receive the blessing of the court on its web and content use, states that the News Corp position, if supported by law, will not allow any new search engines to compete with existing existing ones, such as Google Search and Microsoft Bing.

“The decades of legal precedent and practice confirm that the copyright violation indexes the content of the web site to support the search engine,” – says Brayev in a complaint against the Federal District Court. “Instead it is a fair use.”

The browser and the search business claim that it does not have a contractual agreement with News Corp and is not obliged to compensate for the publisher. It is necessary to declare a declaration to confirm this, so aimed at eliminating potential claims for copyright infringement from News Corp.

The brave refused to comment. ®
