Do go & check out this project by very talented pal, Alice Cooper and her involvement in starting the Women’s Rugby World Cup! 🏆.
Do you know how the #womensrugbyworldcup began? I’m one of 4 pioneers who started it in 1991. With @nickheathsport @BrandedStudios @Hurcheonfilms we're racing to complete a feature doc about it. But we need your help to complete it. Please donate/share

Has the government forgotten that they work for us, the people?. They seem to be busy putting in a shift for (mostly) international tech and venture capital firms. Let’s call it what it is; open #corruption & #sleaze for which there isn’t any popular mandate. @UKLabour.
Must-read article on the travesty being inflicted on the UK’s creative industries by a government in bed with big tech. To quote one MP: “One of our greatest industrial sectors is on fire and ministers are having a picnic on the lawn with the arsonists.”.

Today I wrote a letter to the PM on the looming disaster in training data & creative communities. I’d call on all creative workers! Stop 🛑 what you are doing right now, pick up a pen 🖊write & share your perspective too!. We must act collectively so our voices can’t be ignored

What kind of a sick society would readily pound into dust her entire shared cultural heritage and all her artists, for the benefit of venture capitalists and the speculative prospect of raising GDP growth by 0.1% ?.
The UK’s AI Opportunities Action Plan proposes legalising the mass theft of IP by AI companies. And the government has already accepted its recommendations, revealing the ongoing consultation on AI & copyright as a sham. @UKLabour has truly become the party of big tech.

Why is the government so intent on moving heaven and earth to fudge copyright law for a completely speculative new business model that doesn’t even bother to be compliant with our existing law and steals from our creative workers and rights holders?.
The UK government AI and Copyright Consultation opens today. We want to hear from a wide range of voices. Respond to the consultation to share your views. [Link]:

Opposing a theft of collective labour by private equity and monstrously rich tech companies, isn’t the same as opposing the development of new ML technologies. If you want to use someone’s work COMMERCIALLY, then pay for it!./If it’s for education/academia/actual art, crack on.
🚨 The UK government is reportedly launching a consultation on Tuesday that will propose upending copyright law and handing the life's work of the UK's creators to AI companies. The details I've heard (I hope I'm wrong):.- New copyright exception for AI training (i.e. no need to.
