Musician and barrister, not always in that order.
You can now buy tickets for my band's gig here: wegottickets.com/event/673799
But you can't buy tickets for the video. How would that even work?

I think musicians starting out should get basic legal advice for free.
I also think lawyers should stay out of the way when musicians are starting out.
Here's a link to me saying the same thing in 800 words.

Very interesting developments on tools for artists to fight back against ingestion of their work by AI training models. And it might be unlawful to make technical workarounds to get around the use of these tools. My thoughts: www.linkedin.com/posts/mark-w...

Excellent listening, this. I haven’t heard a single episode I don’t love.
Fourth episode of Pledge Week is “Fruit Tree” by Nick Drake!
A solitary performer who rarely collaborated with other artists, Drake only became recognised as a major figure in music after his death in 1974.

This is an excellent article about why, and how, to keep AI tools out of the classroom. I found this pretty inspiring, to be honest.
I just co-authored a piece with @cnygren.bsky.social on exactly this! It’s short!

I will be on a panel at The LSE Law Summit at the end of the month talking about copyright in the digital age. Tickets are available at the link in the article below.
I expect we'll be talking about AI. We may talk about other things as well. There's no end of topics to discuss under this theme.

Yep, Microsoft has done this to me too.
Tech bro grift klaxon!
If you use Office, Microsoft are about to up your sub charges on the sly to pay for Skynet Clippy to get all up in your grill and burn Earth to a crisp.
Follow the link and instructions to save yourself money, and turn off the unwanted AI copilot. It’s fiddly, but do it.

This is really shocking: and true. I discovered I'd just been upgraded without consent to an AI-enshittified package that was about £30 a year more expensive. Strongly recommend anyone who has an Office 365 follow the below advice to get rid of it

Starting here is like starting at a new school, after how Twitter used to be. My old friends are probably here somewhere, but where do they hang out? and have they made new friends? and who are all these new people? It’s exciting, but exhausting. And I’m way too old to be at school.

Music industry contracts, eh.
I'm tracing rights assigned in one contract for "The World and the Universe", in the next for "The Universe", and in a third for "The World and the Solar System".
Someone failed to transfer rights subsisting within the Universe but beyond the Solar System. Careless.
