So they would be offering content to the NYT sourced from the NYT? From Wikipedia

“In October 2024, The New York Times (NYT) sent a cease-and-desist notice to Perplexity to stop accessing and using NYT content, claiming that Perplexity is violating its copyright by scraping data from its website.”

“The cease-and-desist notice sent by NYT lawyers read in part: "Perplexity and its business partners have been unjustly enriched by using, without authorization, The Times's expressive, carefully written and researched, and edited journalism without a license." “
