@UKFilmNerd the fact they had these plans in the first place is concerning but a win is a win. Thank for good news!

@UKFilmNerd Let them eat it. Copyright Designs & Patents Act 1988 seems pretty clear to me. #GrandTheftAutoComplete

@UKFilmNerd I couldn't get to the Film Stories link probably because I'm behind a well-known VPN provider, so: https://www.aiandgames.com/p/uk-governments-ai-plans-smacked-down #GrandTheftAutoComplete

@UKFilmNerd Too bad. I'd just register an AI firm and be leechin' the web empty. /s

After Metallica v. Napster and so many friends of mine experiencing problems with the law due to copyright the thinking about laws like these feel like a fist in the face. This is neither just nor justice.

This is cowardice. And greediness. And it's got this is stopped - for now.

Nonetheless, the copyright laws worldwide should experience some refurbishing imho.

Update to clarify: NOT in favour of companies!
