Legendary musician Paul McCartney is warning against proposed changes to UK copyright law that would allow tech companies to freely train their models on online content unless the copyright holders actively opt out.
In excerpts of an interview with the BBC, McCartney said the government needs to do more to protect musicians and other artists.
“We’re the people, you’re the government!” he said. “You’re supposed to protect us. That’s your job. So if you’re putting through a bill, make sure you protect the creative thinkers, the creative artists, or you’re not going to have them.”
McCartney isn’t necessarily opposed to the use of AI in creating music — indeed, he took advantage of the technology last year to clean up an old John Lennon demo and create what McCartney called “the last Beatles record.” However, he suggested that AI (or at least AI with a loose approach to copyright) poses an economic threat to artists.
“You get young guys, girls, coming up, and they write a beautiful song, and they don’t own it, and they don’t have anything to do with it, and anyone who wants can just rip it off,” McCartney said.
Adding that “the money’s going somewhere,” he said the financial rewards for creating a hit song should go to the artist, not just “some tech giant somewhere.”
Aw, this was an incredibly nice post. Finding the time and actual effort to make a top notch article… but
what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and don’t manage
to get nearly anything done.

First of all I would like to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question which
I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your
mind prior to writing. I’ve had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts
out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like
the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or
hints? Appreciate it!
Hi to every one, the contents existing at this web page are in fact awesome for
people experience, well, keep up the good work fellows.
I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any
interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for

as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
