《纽约时报》和其他报业公司昨日起诉 Brave Software，指控该浏览器制造商非法绕过付费墙，并将窃取的新闻内容出售给 AI 公司。
The New York Times and other newspaper companies sued Brave Software yesterday, alleging that the browser maker illegally bypasses paywalls and sells stolen news content to AI companies.
“Brave 为其自身用户以及许多最知名的生成式 AI 公司（包括 Anthropic、Perplexity、Mistral、xAI 和 Cohere）充当被盗版权内容的供应商、经销商和分销商，”《纽约时报》在向美国纽约南区联邦地区法院提起的诉讼中指称。诉讼引用第三方收入估算称，“Brave 通过未经同意或许可复制并转售出版商作品，已赚取超过 1 亿美元，”而“出版商一分钱也没收到。”
"Brave is the supplier, dealer, and distributor of stolen copyrighted content for its own users and many of the most prominent GenAI companies, including Anthropic, Perplexity, Mistral, xAI, and Cohere," the NYT alleged in a lawsuit filed in US District Court for the Southern District of New York. Citing third-party revenue estimates, the suit claimed that "Brave has made more than $100 million by copying and reselling publishers’ work without consent or permission," while "publishers have received nothing."
诉讼称，“AI 公司付费给 Brave，以获取来自 Brave 搜索索引的实时在线内容，”并利用来自 Brave 索引的内容“训练其自身的 AI 模型”以及“回应特定用户查询。”《纽约时报》的诉讼指出 Brave 官网声称，Brave Search API “被一些 AI 领域的大牌公司使用，包括 Cohere、Mistral、Perplexity 和 You.com。”
The lawsuit said, "AI companies pay Brave to provide them with real-time online content from the Brave search index," and use content from the Brave index "to train their own AI models" and "to respond to specific user queries." The NYT lawsuit points to Brave's website, which says the Brave Search API is "used by some of the biggest names in AI, including Cohere, Mistral, Perplexity, and You.com."
