00:00So I think you just have to worry about the rip-off. AI is a great thing but it
00:05shouldn't rip creative people off. There's no sense in that. Why would a
00:10government want to do that? I don't get it.
00:13So what would your message then be, as it happens we've got the Chancellor with us
00:17on Sunday morning who's you know got a thing or two to decide in the government,
00:20what would your message be to our politicians then who are trying to make
00:24the decision at the moment about how to and whether to protect the copyright of
00:29artists like you? We're the people, you're the government, you're supposed to
00:34protect us, that's your job. So you know if you're putting through a bill make
00:39sure you protect the creative thinkers, the creative artists or you're not going
00:46to have them. As simple as that? If there's such a thing as a government
00:51it's their responsibility I would think to protect the young people, to try and
00:57enhance that whole thing so that it works, so that these people have got jobs
01:03and can enhance the world with their wonderful art.
