Marking IP essays and the answer for nearly all problems, according to most students, is codification? Am I missing something here? Since when did the common law go out of fashion? 😆

This!!!!! And yet publishers complain.
"You know that tech developers and many publishers won't make it easy for authors to reserve their rights. Some publishers have *already* sold our IP."

I think there needs to be more nuance though. Again we're artists are used to front policy change while publishers continue to licence authorial works to #AI companies. There needs to be a distinction of #copyright holders ie. authors vs those holding exploitation rights.
Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training.
I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.

Amazing. Though nothing new in #copyright land. Amending boundaries to only foster new online business models - now it is #AI. Where is the author, the artist, the performer in these discussions? Clearly, absent. #UKpolitics

Zara has a new collab with 'stylenotcom' - Could this be a nuanced response to fast fashion, copying and utility items? Possibly. But the tagline 'I always end up at Zara' has weight in the shadow of fashion week.
