On Tuesday (February 25), over 1,000 artists, including Damon Albarn, Kate Bush, Annie Lennox, and Tori Amos, joined forces to release a 47-minute silent album titled, Is This What We Want?, to protest AI using their work illegally due to proposed changes in the UK’s copyright laws. The titles of the 12-tracks on the album reads, “The British government must not legalize music theft to benefit AI companies.” A description on the album’s Spotify page reads: “In late 2024, the UK government proposed changing copyright law to allow artificial intelligence companies to build their products using other people’s copyrighted work – music, artworks, text, and more – without a license. The musicians on this album came together to protest this.” Notable musicians like Billy Ocean, The Clash, Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien, Imogen Heap, and Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer are also part of the project, with all proceeds from the album going towards the Help Musicians charity.
