AI search startup Perplexity has issued a sharp rebuke to the copyright infringement lawsuit filed against it earlier this week by media giant News Corp.. The startup took an adversarial tone, suggesting that media companies like News Corp “wish this technology didn’t exist” and “prefer to live in a world where publicly reported facts are owned by corporations.”
Notably, the blog post did not directly address the central accusation in News Corp’s suit — that Perplexity copies publisher content on a huge scale and then competes with those same publishers for audience. Instead, the startup implied that news organizations want to prevent the existence of AI tools altogether.
The post did push back on a couple specific allegations, denying that Perplexity regurgitates full article text and countering the lawsuit’s claim that it was unresponsive to News Corp’s outreach. However, other points ventured into speculation, with Perplexity questioning if the “salacious” examples News Corp cited would even be used in the actual case.
