Today's the final day to make our voices heard against the government's proposed plans to allow AI developers to steal our work for use in training their AI systems. It's theft, plain and simple, but you can object by filling out the IPO consultation.

If you write, record, paint, draw or use and enjoy any of the products of people who write, record, paint and draw, please appeal against the upcoming AI legislation. #StrengthenCopyright
Creatives! It's the last day to appeal the upcoming AI legislation. The website is here: ipoconsultations.citizenspace.com/ipo/consulta... and the key bit is the section below. TICK OPTION 1. Strengthen copyright! Option 3 - which the government prefer - is no good for us.

The government's preferred proposal on #CopyrightAndAI will have a crippling effect on the UK's creative industries.
So, if you're NOT a creative, but you value the arts and like living in a country that has a healthy creative industry and can spare the time to object to this proposal, please do!
