Bitcoin Browser Brave Draws Fire from Major News PublishersThe maker of ad-blocking browser Brave, which plans to give users the option to view ads in exchange for micropayments in bitcoin, has responded to a cease-and-desist letter it received today from members of a major newspaper trade group.
Seventeen members of the Newspaper Association of America (NAA), including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal, sent the letter to Brave, calling the business plan proposed for the browser "blatantly illegal".
The letter states:
“Your plan to use our content to sell your advertising is indistinguishable from a plan to steal our content to publish on your own website.”
