Artists rally against copyright reforms

Artists, including Paul McCartney and Tom Stoppard, have voiced strong opposition to proposed copyright reforms by the Government. In an effort to address concerns, ministers have promised an economic impact assessment and reports on transparency and licensing for AI developers. Elton John stated that the reforms “ride roughshod over the traditional copyright laws that protect artists’ livelihoods.” The Liberal Democrats plan to reintroduce amendments to ensure AI companies comply with UK copyright law.
