In December 2024, the UK government initiated a consultation aimed at overhauling UK copyright law, enabling AI developers to use creators’ online content for model development unless the rights holders choose to opt out.
From Copyright and Artificial Intelligence – GOV.UK:
Both our creative industries and our AI sector are UK strengths. They are vital to our national mission to grow the economy. This consultation sets out our plan to deliver a copyright and AI framework that rewards human creativity, incentivises innovation and provides the legal certainty required for long-term growth in both sectors.
At present, the application of UK copyright law to the training of AI models is disputed. Rights holders are finding it difficult to control the use of their works in training AI models and seek to be remunerated for its use. AI developers are similarly finding it difficult to navigate copyright law in the UK, and this legal uncertainty is undermining investment in and adoption of AI technology.
This status quo cannot continue. It risks limiting investment, innovation, and growth in the AI sector, and in the wider economy. It effectively prevents creative industries from exercising their rights.
There is great strength and breadth of feeling about the best way forward. This government recognises that it must tackle the difficult choices now to unlock growth, innovation and protect human creativity. This consultation seeks views on how we can deliver a solution that achieves our key objectives for the AI sector and creative industries.
We[’ve] got to be careful about it because it could just take over and we don’t want that to happen particularly for the young composers and writers [for] who, it may be the only way they[’re] gonna make a career. If AI wipes that out, that would be a very sad thing indeed.

Hello folks,
I am rewriting essays on Paul McCartney, and The Beatles in general. Currently looking for reviews of his poetry collection 'Blackbird Singing'. I have Mark Hergaards review for the LA Times, and mr. Horovitz in The Guardian. Does anybody has other copies/scans or links to other reviews?
Thnaks

Hi Rob, thanks for your message. Unfortunately, I don't have any other review of Blackbird Singing. Good luck in your quest.
