The AI licensing ledger: who's suing, who's signing

Press Gazette's live tracker logs the latest: News Corp is suing browser Brave over "verbatim or near verbatim" news summaries, with CEO Robert Thomson calling the company "content crooks and brand brigands"; a federal judge rejected Perplexity's motion to dismiss Reddit's scraping suit; and more than 30 US local publishers owning nearly 400 titles are suing OpenAI and Microsoft. On the signing side, News Corp took a deal worth up to $50m a year from Meta, and Microsoft signed its first Asia-Pacific news deal with Australia's Nine Entertainment.
