"Leading British artists including Mick Jagger, Kate Bush and Paul McCartney have urged [UK Prime Minister] Keir Starmer to stand up for creators’ human rights and protect their work ahead of a UK-US tech deal during Donald Trump’s visit.
In a letter to the prime minister, they argued Labour had failed to defend artists’ basic rights by blocking attempts to force artificial intelligence firms to reveal what copyrighted material they have used in their systems. ...
“ 'The government’s formal position has exhibited a shocking indifference to mass theft, and a complete unwillingness to enforce the existing law to uphold the human rights stipulated by the ICESCR, the Berne Convention and the ECHR,' said the letter. ...
"Elton John, one of the letter’s signatories, said government proposals to let AI companies train their systems on copyright-protected work without permission 'leaves the door wide open for an artist’s life work to be stolen.' ”~ from the article 'Top UK artists urge Starmer to protect their work on eve of Trump visit'

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
