That's the difference between the fair deal and fair use approaches to copyright exemptions. Fair deal means that copyright holders can steal from the commons of public knowledge and culture to extract rents for decades. "The public? Who cares about it? WE WANT FREE MONEY FOR DECADES"

"The Albanese government has explicitly ruled out handing tech companies free rein to mine creative content to train their artificial intelligence models, after a fierce backlash from authors and from arts and media groups.

The attorney general, Michelle Rowland, will confirm the decision on Monday, shutting the door on a contentious proposal floated by the Productivity Commission and backed by tech companies.

“Australian creatives are not only world class, but they are also the lifeblood of Australian culture, and we must ensure the right legal protections are in place,” Rowland said.

The commission sparked outrage in August after its interim report on “harnessing data and the digital economy” suggested granting an exemption to copyright laws that would effectively allow technology companies free access to content to train their AI models.

Weeks earlier, Scott Farquhar, the co-founder of software giant Atlassian and the chair of the Tech Council of Australia, told the National Press Club that “fixing” the existing restrictions could “unlock billions of dollars of foreign investment into Australia”."

Happening now! WOW what an incredible show of solidarity with flight attendants fighting for a fair deal at YVR and across the country. I stand shoulder to shoulder with them and call on the Liberal Government to fix the labour code and end unpaid work. It’s about #Values. It’s time to show support vs just talk about it. #fediverse #canpoli #cdnpoli #politics

For a Fair Deal
In very tough times, the British people have shown remarkable decency and strength. Everywhere across our great United Kingdom, people from all backgrounds and all walks of life are working hard, raising families, helping others and playing by the rules – but finding it harder and harder to make ends meet.
