UK Govt AI copyright plan suffers fifth Lords defeat, 221 to 116 votes.
Copyright enables many to earn a living. It is being ripped off by tech companies. All they need to do is to inform people, get a licence to use and pay. Govt says change might come in the future.
I voted against the govt.

Red made some of the most innovative, exciting and irreverent TV drama of the past 30 years. If they can’t survive the current crisis then surely no indie is secure. Can we finally acknowledge this is existential for British TV production and act accordingly?

and film production market, you know something has seriously gone wrong. 😢
