To all the Members of the other place who talked warmly last night about the creativity of their own communities, of individual artists and small companies, or of centres excellence, I ask the question: how will they survive if their livelihood is dependent on chasing after AI bots that have scraped their opt-out work? Can they survive if the only way to own their own work is to opt out of the primary arena of distribution, sales and archiving? What do they think about galleries and museums: should they also opt out to protect their artists? If so, what does that do to tourism, of which the Minister last night was so proud to announce that the arts were the primary driver?
