“Access to culture must encompass access to careers in culture” — IAWG Chair @jenniferdavidson.bsky.social on limitations and exceptions @wipo.int Standing Committee on Copyright & Related Rights. #AI

Limitations and exceptions were designed for libraries, archives & research institutions - not for commercial cos who are financially well able to pay for licences - if the creatives who own the work choose to allow it to be sold. If this U.K. government tactic happens it’s underwriting theft.

Back in Geneva for the second meeting this year of WIPOs Standing Committee on Copyrights & Related Rights to represent @iawg.bsky.social and the voices of screenwriters globally to defend our work and our copyright especially in this era of generative AI.

Want to come work with me and our wonderful board?

Cannot wait to host these two stellar panels on my home turf on Saturday. Registration is still open if you want to come along.

If you missed out on the World Conference of Screenwriters in Galway last year - or you just really want to listen back, now you can, thanks to our friends at Film Ireland.

Today, the IAWG urged UNESCO to prioritise a global rights database to ensure that all writers have their work protected & reminded them of their duty to uphold the uniqueness of human creativity in an era where AI developers steal our work and insult culture by calling our creativity “data”.

An hour and 40 minutes after we were due to depart Stansted, and one change of plane, we don’t appear to be any closer to taking off. Which is fun.

Just saw a stat that there are as many men called James or Jim in the cabinet as there are female ministers 🙄

Writers - have we thoughts yet on Patrick O’Donovan as our new Arts Minister? Can’t see any sense that he has a background or interest in the arts, but maybe I’m wrong.

Sure, let’s throw Kavanaugh in there. Because this wasn’t grim enough already.

To go from Kamala Harris as Vice President to JD Vance is one of the most depressing parts of this whole thing.

Why am I depressing myself by watching Trump’s inauguration? What a bleak day.

Been thinking a lot about the state of our politics in Mayo this weekend. Is the tendency to vote for your local man (and always a man) regardless of how objectively terrible they are in such a geographically large constituency something that can change?

010

Jennifer Davidson @jenniferdavidson.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

Catherine Martin & Neasa Hourigan both in danger of losing their seats. Whatever your party politics, that’s a real loss of two strong and effective female politicians.

People have such short memories when it comes to Fianna Fáil.

Jennifer Davidson @jenniferdavidson.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

And I see everyone’s favourite “man of the people” filmmaker is posting about his capacity to be elected. Meanwhile a genuine politician who has done actual good for the area is in danger of losing her seat. Please let this be one of the cases where the transfers work their magic.

Did I hear that right? Gerry Hutch has more votes so far than Gary Gannon?! Sweet Jesus, people.

Jennifer Davidson @jenniferdavidson.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

Only one political party mention protecting artists copyright against AI in their general election manifesto. Sadly there’s no Soc Dem candidate running in Mayo, so if you do have actual choice on your ballot paper, use it wisely.

This is not the kind of day to be productive. (Or at least that is what I have spent this snowy morning telling myself!)

Jennifer Davidson @jenniferdavidson.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Do you get to have a snow day when you’re self employed & work from home?!

Well this is infuriating. And sadly, entirely predictable. WGI members, if you find any of your work in this database, please let us know.

Jennifer Davidson @jenniferdavidson.bsky.social · 11/12/2023

Sometimes this is the best job in the world. It’s going to be wall to wall rom com around here writing a brand new series. Getting actual funding to write something has been a long time coming so am going to enjoy every single second.

My last 6 years in Dublin I was in the north inner city. Loved that community so much. Heartbroken to see what those scumbags are doing to it & angered they’re using that bullshit “keeping women & children safe” excuse when they’re the only ones creating danger.

Jennifer Davidson @jenniferdavidson.bsky.social · 23/11/2023

Cannot get my head around what’s happening in Dublin tonight. What have they done to the city?

Happily, I have made it to a gate that claims to have a flight departing on time for Montreal. But at this stage I wouldn’t bet on it.

000

Jennifer Davidson @jenniferdavidson.bsky.social · 01/10/2023

Then, I got pulled for extra security screening. Of course.

000

Jennifer Davidson @jenniferdavidson.bsky.social · 01/10/2023

Of course because there were now a million taxis all trying to drive around Heathrow we got stuck in a traffic jam.

100

Jennifer Davidson @jenniferdavidson.bsky.social · 01/10/2023

Back to Terminal 2 to try and get a taxi. Which every body was now trying to do. Though nobody thought to sort people into taxis according to their terminal.

000

Jennifer Davidson @jenniferdavidson.bsky.social · 01/10/2023

So then I made my way to the train between Terminal 2 & Terminal 5. But no, there was no train. Get a bus I was told. Though no-one knew where the bus was. And I had no sterling so couldn’t pay the £25 - because it wasn’t actually replacing the free train.

Jennifer Davidson @jenniferdavidson.bsky.social · 01/10/2023

So I got to Heathrow. Had a bit of an anxious wait for my bag. But it showed. Lulling me into a false sense of security.

000

Jennifer Davidson @jenniferdavidson.bsky.social · 01/10/2023

Well, I’m on a flight. This is progress, right?!

Jennifer Davidson @jenniferdavidson.bsky.social · 01/10/2023

A woman I follow on Instagram got a serious blood infection from a cat bite. I love cats but they can cause so many problems if you’re allergic or they pass on something in their saliva. So sorry you’re having such a bad reaction, and that people are diminishing that for you.

Jennifer Davidson @jenniferdavidson.bsky.social · 01/10/2023

Sadly they don’t (yet) fly to Montreal so pray for me that the Heathrow gods shine upon me and that I don’t spend another day crying in airports. Never let it be said that being Chair of the Writers’ Guild isn’t non-stop fun & glamour.
