"We're really trying to focus on the year of the creator." - Isabelle Doran @ Creators Rights on their work to protect creators.

11.5K people responded to their Copyright & GenAI consultation - mostly individual creators, which is very telling! Huge

There's a big push for compensation now - and transparency. "If we're looking for compensation, we need to know how much of our work has gone into these training models."

Keep responding to surveys and consultations - the more evidence we provide the better. Also "Write to your MP - as much as possible." They have to report and respond to feedback.

Lots of pushback from Govt re the opt out thing, but they did make a couple of concessions - look out for their Impact Report due mid March.

Good point from Phil Sutcliffe that the horse has bolted - our work been already been stolen. We can try and get compensation.

But the law can change the future and everything we create from now. It's important to fight for our unborn kids’ futures. 🙏

And our young graduates who are struggling because those early opps aren’t there. Not to mention the student loans fiasco.

Pushback was the word of the night!!
