News Corp sues Perplexity for ripping off WSJ and New York Post


Perplexity is accused of copying some works verbatim.

News Corp, the parent company of media outlets like The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, is suing the AI search engine Perplexity for infringing copyrighted content. As outlined in the lawsuit, Perplexity bills itself as a platform that lets users “skip the links” to online articles, which News Corp alleges drives “customers and critical revenues away from those copyright holders.” Over the past several months, news outlets like Wired and Forbes have accused Perplexity of scraping content without permission, bypassing paywalls, and even plagiarizing written work.
