Silent Ai Protest Album published in response to the proposed British copyright law

More than 1,000 artists – including Damon Albarn, Kate Bush and Annie Lennox – have published a quiet album in protest against the proposed changes to the British government's copyrights, so that KI companies can train their models with copyright -protected work without a license.

Titled Do we want that? The project contains recordings of empty studios and performance rooms, which “effects that we expect to have the government's suggestions on the livelihood of the musicians”. It consists of 12 tracks in which one message is: “The British government must not legalize music theft to use AI companies.”

Other artists who were attributed to the album are Ed O'Brien von Radiohead, The Clash, Tori Amos, Hans Zimmer and Yusuf / Cat Stevens. All income is donated to the British charity organization that help musicians.

“The government's proposal would hand over the state of the country's musicians free of charge to AI companies so that these companies can take advantage of the work of the musicians in order to exceed them,” said Ed Newton-Rex, the British composer and former AI Manager behind the album. “It is a plan that would not only be catastrophic for musicians, but also unnecessary: ​​Great Britain can be managers in AI without throwing our world's leading creative industry under the bus.”

In her own statement, Bush added: “In the music of the future, our voices become unheard of?”

Last December, the international confederation of companies of authors and composers published a study in which it was pointed out that the employees of the music industry could lose up to 24% of their income by 2028 against Ai.
