While no true lawsuit yet, there have been cease-and-desist sent: https://www.businessinsider.com/newspaper-publishers-send-cease-and-desist-to-brave-browser-2016-4 https://www.businessinsider.com/newspaper-publishers-send-ce... Most recently (as far as big news goes) it turns out Brave collects donations even if content creators don't participate. AFAIK it's an opt-out feature right now, not opt-in. So Brave is putting donation buttons on YouTuber pages, which only allows the Brave user to donate BAT (Basic Attention Tokens - an altcoin that Brave created on Ethereum), and they hold them until the YouTuber claims it. They also take certain BAT back from the YouTuber if it's not claimed within a year - but those are the free BAT that they give out to Brave users to encourage adoption. BAT donated to YouTubers that the Brave user bought themselves stays in an escrow for now. https://twitter.com/tomscott/status/1076160753793683456?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/tomscott/status/1076160753793683456?ref_...
