Thanks Zöe Franklin MP & many others who stood behind us, the fight goes on to make government listen to the Creative Industries. They cannot continue to dismiss this precious asset in favour of Big Tec. We want to work with AI but ONLY with transparency, attribution & recompense

Excited to see my work on visual plagiarism with @rahll hit the big time! And hooray for this incredibly sensible decision from the US copyright office!

Dua Lipa and Paul McCartney among 400 urging AI copyright protection mol.im/a/14696229 via Mail Online and designers, too, have signed this letter to the PM, "Our work is not yours to give away"

Agreed but sad that it would appear that Trump has sacked the Head of the Copyright Office after this excellent report. Let's hope our own PM reads the letter on behalf of UK creators which says, "Our work is not yours to give away"

Could not agree more, and its also good to mention that it is not just music but this affects all from the fantastic creative industries, globally, including design.

A brilliant show of unity to say to UK Prime Minister "Our work is not yours to give away" signed by many famous names, including many of the UK's iconic designers

Proud to sign this letter to the Prime Minister on behalf of Anti Copying in Design members & the broader #design community. I hope he is listening mode-the signatories of this letter make powerful arguments to support attribution, transparency & recompense by AI for copyright creators
