🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

Yes! Britain leads the world in precipitous decline! #skeleton
Nice to see BBC news only just discovering the existence of music supervisors. Bless.
they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit
Beautiful and important words from the Pope yesterday:
“In recent years, AI systems have increasingly taken control of the production of text, music, and videos. Much of the human creative industry is thus at risk of being dismantled and replaced with the label "Powered by AI,"...

"And we now have María on the line who would like to swap a Nobel Peace Prize for the presidency of Venezuela..."
Given my name (and that fact that I was tall in KS2) I might be one of the few people who can boast having played both Joseph and Mary on multiple occasions!
I for one am very excited about the UK’s court system crisis being solved by an entirely AI judicial workforce!!
Comments like these are what made me realise I unironically love admin.
A white bunny is peering into a large mug with a bunny face design. Its oversized pink ears stick out.
Ah that famously British composer - George Gershwin 🤦♀️
I saw the brilliant Benny Hill version by @marmel.bsky.social and was inspired. We know who the villains are.
I'm looking forward to speaking at my first conference next week! I'll be presenting my report on mother composers and the music industry. Give me a shout if you'll be in Southampton on Wednesday 😊 www.southampton.ac.uk/music/RMAcon...
I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.
No refugee underfunded a school.
No refugee closed a hospital.
No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.
We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!
My concern is who she must be impaling with an endpin that long presumably 🤦♀️
Shame I need to run across the track and add the missing apostrophe.
How did I never realise that it was possibly made in Kent? I say we get rid of the marbles and try and claim back the tapestry!

Also took a trip down uni memory lane this week with Sheff docfest. Took me a little while to realise most filmmakers are NOT interested in hearing about which shop was here back then, or how this bus is stopping in different places now 😂🤦♀️
Had to get my i10 battery changed a few months ago (it was due). The engineer who gave me the jump start to the garage said that they’re great little cars that just keep on chugging along without a lot of extra care. Never have I felt more vindicated 💪
So true in any profession. Hard work doesn't always equal success, and success isn't just because you worked hard. That doesn't mean you DIDN'T work hard, but it's not usually the deciding factor. I'm well aware of how much luck has had to do with all of the things I've achieved so far in my life.
I think disco is easy and straightforward if you’re receiving music that you need to download (i.e for music supervisors). For everyone else I’ve found Reelcrafter to be a bit more intuitive
I’m so glad my first time watching him on the screen for me was him playing that guy in MASH that got the number 6 pool ball stuck in his mouth. RIP

People who use AI to make "art" and claim they truly are artists are the kids who would trace a picture of a giant squid from a book in year three and when they got caught out exclaim that everyone else is just jealous of their brilliant giant squid drawing.
Musicians Union here in the UK have been alerted
Until they can confirm their Gen AI partners (whose tools they offer to SoundCloud pro users) get their training data from outside means and with full consent, I’m going to assume SC give their partners our uploads to train the Gen AI with
Exactly. They’re saying “we’ve never trained AI on our users music!” Yet the terms of use say they can. They’re saying “we don’t use Gen AI!” Yet they very clearly do.
