This is a continuum of years of piracy and theft by the tech companies against British content makers. Some big media companies have taken on the tech companies for breach of copyright, but it is very expensive. In the first nine months of its lawsuit against Open AI and Microsoft for copyright infringement to train their AI models, the New York Times spent $7.6 million, a sum way beyond the resources of many content creators in the UK. To compound the theft, the tech companies say they use so much data in training their models that is often not possible to identify the provenance of that data. However, in many cases the source of the data is being deliberately obscured by the AI companies.
