    New York Times and other outlets sue web browser Brave over alleged content scraping

    The lawsuits expand AI copyright litigation beyond model developers and search engines to target the third-party data suppliers and web indexes that feed the AI ecosystem.

    The New York Times and several other newspapers have filed federal lawsuits against web browser company Brave, alleging it scraped their copyrighted content using an unidentified crawler. The publishers claim Brave acted as a distributor of stolen data by selling the scraped articles to AI companies including Anthropic, Perplexity, Mistral, xAI, and Cohere.

    Claude’s new rules against game cloning won’t stop the AI copying boom

    System prompt restrictions highlight how AI labs attempt to limit copyright liability as coding assistants make cloning existing software increasingly trivial.

    Anthropic updated the system prompt for Claude Code and its Claude Opus 5.5 model to prohibit the recreation of specific existing video games. Although the rule instructs the AI to build only original games rather than clones, observers note it is unlikely to halt the broader trend of AI-assisted game copying and porting.
