So?
So… what’s the down side to this bill?
And not asking for it will kill whatever remains of the creative industries.
What do you want, a few years of ai slop followed by the more or less rapid decline of the internet (as it is overwhelmed with model collapse creative works and untrustable content) that will afford the likes of Clegg (in his role of 'meta' executive) a huge payout, or creative people having any hope of a sustained ability to make a living?

I doubt it. With that $500 billion dollar grant, you can hire people to make art to train on. That's a LOT of money.
Come on Disney! Use your god tier copyright lawyers and stop this AI shit for good.
Is this going in for a vote? Where do I vote?
Yay, kill it please.
Ha... He was the Lib Dem poster boy for a good decade. And they're something akin to pro-business libertarians. I wonder what Lib Dem Dep PM Clegg would have said to this!
He was the poster boy because he managed to rise to the rank of completely irrelevant, the highest level of office any lib dem has ever achieved.

Ah, if it isn’t my old friend Mr. Nick Clegg, with a dick for a face and an ass for a head!
He admit it!
Yes please.
Honestly not a bad thing, I mean you're not going to OpenSource your AI so this is a good alternative
Well let's hope it will.
