Looks like mainstream media is pushing back hard against AI companies now. The New York Times just filed a lawsuit against Perplexity, claiming copyright infringement. This isn't their first rodeo either—they've been pretty aggressive about protecting their content lately.
What's interesting here is how this could set precedents for the entire AI industry. If traditional publishers keep winning these battles, it might reshape how AI tools source and display information. The tension between innovation and intellectual property rights is getting real.
Anyone else think this could impact how AI-powered search engines operate going forward? The legal landscape is shifting fast.

NYT is being pretty ruthless this time, but Perplexity should do some self-reflection too... To put it bluntly, they're making money off others' livelihoods. The legal battle is just getting started.

NGL, this move by The New York Times is pretty ruthless, but to be fair, AI companies have been consuming free content for so long—it’s about time they paid up.

This move by The New York Times was long overdue... Tools like Perplexity are sucking up content so aggressively, someone really needed to step in and take control.

NYT is at it again. Is AI really going to suffer this time... I don't quite believe it.

The New York Times is at it again, this time targeting Perplexity... It really feels like traditional media is getting desperate.

NYT played this hand pretty aggressively, but to put it bluntly, they're still afraid of being replaced... Sooner or later, they'll have to reconcile.

Good morning, the copyright war at 3 a.m. The New York Times' move is basically treating content like a sandwich, squeezing the liquidity in the middle from both ends—a classic dark pool trading strategy.
