Elton John Brands the “divorced losers” government on Publishing plans for Amnesty International

Sir Elton John described the government as “divorced losers” and said he feels “incredibly betrayal” on plans to exempt technology companies from copyright laws.

He spoke exclusively on Sunday with Laura Quinsbberg, he said that if the ministers continue plans to allow artificial intelligence companies to use the content of artists without paying, they “commit the theft, on a large scale.”

This week, the government rejected proposals from the House of Lords to compel artificial intelligence companies to reveal the materials they use to develop their programs.

A government spokesman said that “there are no changes” on the laws of copyright, “will be considered” unless we are completely satisfied with the creators. “

Obstetric artificial intelligence programs, or learning, from huge amounts of data such as text, images, or online music to create new content that appears to be made by humans.

Sir Elton said that “the danger” is that, for young artists, “they did not get resources … to fight large technology [firms]”.

“He is a criminal, where I feel incredibly betrayal,” he added.

“The House of Lords voted, and it was more than two to one for our benefit,” he said. “The government looked at the matter as if it were saying,” Well, the elderly … like me they can bear. “

On Monday, the House of Lords voted by 147 majority to amend the bill (use and access) to add transparency requirements, which aims to ensure copyright holders to give permission to use them.

But on Wednesday, deputies in the House of Commons voted to reject this change, which means that the draft law will continue to return back and forth between the two councils until they reach an agreement on it.

Sir Elton warned that the government was on its way to “stealing young people from their legacy and income,” adding that he believed that the government “is just a divorced loser, and I am very angry at that.”

The singer said that Prime Minister Sir Kerr Starmer needs “wisdom” and the Minister of Technology described Peter Kyle as “a little bit of fool.”

He said that if the government does not change its plans, he will be ready to transfer the ministers to the court, saying, “We will fight it all the way.”

The 78 -year -old playwright James Graham said that the ministers “understand the value of creativity … but what is frustrated is either self -consent or willingness to allow the Silicon Valley of Bruce with technology that she gets throughout their own way.”

The CEO of the United Kingdom Music Company, Tom Kele, told the BBC that the government is “on the edge” to present the music industry in the country “as a fierce sheep in its efforts to seize American technology giants.

He added that the Prime Minister “should not sell” the next generation of singers, songs, musicians and music creators “under the river and allow crushing all these talents by allowing the robots of Amnesty International to loot their work.”

Before voting in the House of Lords, Sir Elton joined More than 400 British musicians, writers and artists in signing a letter calling on the Prime Minister to update the laws of copyright In a way that protects them from artificial intelligence.

Pitles singer Sir Paul McCartney, who also signed the message, I previously told the BBC that the risks of Amnesty International will create the “wild West” The copyright has not been properly protected for artists.

A government spokesman said it wanted to “thrive on the creative industries in the United Kingdom and artificial intelligence companies, which is why we are consulting a set of measures that we hope to work in both sectors.”

A spokesman for the “vital order” said the government, through responses to consulting the proposals to allow developers to use the content of creators unless the rights of the “subscription cancel” were elected.

They added, “It was equally important to put it mainly now as we consider the following steps.”

“For this reason, we committed to publishing a report and evaluation of the economic impact – exploring a wide range of issues and options on all aspects of the discussion.”
