Major publishers sue Perplexity AI for scraping content
Briefly

The perplexing Perplexity has willfully copied copious amounts of copyrighted material without compensation, and shamelessly presents repurposed material as a direct substitute for the original source. Perplexity proudly states that users can 'skip the links' - apparently, Perplexity wants to skip the check.
We applaud principled companies like OpenAI, which understands that integrity and creativity are essential if we are to realize the potential of Artificial Intelligence. Perplexity is not the only AI company abusing intellectual property.
News Corp isn't against sharing its intellectual property to train AI systems - but it wants the money upfront. In May it inked a deal with OpenAI for just this purpose.
