Dow Jones says Perplexity is “freeriding,” sues over copyright infringement | AI startup reportedly "did not bother to respond" to notice of infringement.


AI startup reportedly “did not bother to respond” to notice of infringement.

Some, such as OpenAI, have signed commercial partnerships and licensing agreements with publishers, including News Corp and the Financial Times, which are among the newspapers that allow ChatGPT users to see select attributed summaries, quotes and links. The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, and last week sent Perplexity a “cease and desist” notice telling the company to stop using its journalism, including creating summaries and other types of content. In July, the publishers sent a letter to the start-up, putting it on notice of the legal issues and offering to discuss a potential licensing deal, the lawsuit said, but Perplexity “did not bother to respond.”
