Flip-flopping on lots of different things has become a running joke for the UK government.

I thought rights were self-evident. :/

Too much so for this government. Their plan was to change the law to remove creator rights regarding theft, sorry, use by "AI".

I thought we were against IP as property. When did that change?

What a dumb policy in the first place. One of the most successful creative industries in the world and your plan is to bend over for the big American tech companies instead of supporting the people actually making your country money.

This Govt's serious problem is it has fallen hook line and sinker for the "AI" con trick. It thought shafting the creatives a price worth paying for a place on the "AI" gravy train. It still has no idea how deluded it is, so will be looking for an alternative "solution". Perhaps it can sell the UK populace's health data instead. Oh wait...

But isn't it always (or at least lately) like this? Corporations ruling, the small guy paying? I'm aware this sounds very leftie, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.
