Amazon sues Perplexity over alleged unauthorized access through Comet

Justia’s case summary says Amazon sued Perplexity under the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and California’s Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act. Amazon alleges Comet’s user-activated AI Assistant accessed its website without authorization despite an explicit prohibition. A user sharing the case link wrote that AI products they had worked on had won “2 out of 2 lawsuits.”
