British musicians, including Kate Bush, Annie Lennox, and Ben Howard, voice their opposition to proposed changes to copyright law that could undermine their artistic rights. They protest through an album titled 'Is This What We Want?', featuring recordings of empty studios to symbolize anticipated financial losses from the government's plans. With AI companies potentially using their work without consent, over 1,000 musicians have united to draw attention to these issues, urging the government to uphold copyright protections and ensure fair compensation for creators to maintain a thriving creative industry.
The musicians on this album came together to protest this, representing the impact we expect the government's proposals would have on musicians' livelihoods.
Without fair reward, our creative industries simply won't survive. The government must stand behind its creative industries. It's time to fairly compensate the creators.
There is no moral or economic argument for stealing our copyright. Taking it away will devastate the industry and steal the livelihoods of many.
The album consists of 12 songs with their titles spelling out, 'The British government must not legalise music theft to benefit AI companies.'
