Paul McCartney has expressed concerns regarding proposed changes to UK copyright law that would allow tech companies to use online content without artist consent. In a BBC interview, he advocated for stronger protections for musicians, claiming the government has a responsibility to defend creative individuals. While he is not against AI in music, he cautioned about the financial risks it poses to artists. McCartney emphasized that the financial benefits from music should directly support the creators, rather than tech corporations, highlighting potential exploitation of emerging artists.
We're the people, you're the government! 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.
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.
