The creative industries are one of the UK’s greatest exports. Our wonderful music, musicians and creativity are at risk if government continue to side with AI and big tech. The message is simple - #MakeItFair

The UK already has gold-standard copyright laws. If government let AI companies bypass this to train their models, our creative industries will be dismantled. For the future of music and all creativity, we urge government to #MakeItFair 🎶

This sounds tedious, but it is v impt. Govt is threatening to dismantle copyright and give tech companies free access to what you have created so that the machines can ingest your work and exploit it without payment. Make your voice heard and respond NOW. Say no. @ism-music.bsky.social

Thought I would try out Bluesky with a post. Great piece in @thetimes.com on Saturday in praise of the creative industries by Max Hastings. Worth a read between wrapping presents
