2025-02-25
Arrr! A thousand scallywags of song joined forces to launch a hush-hush tune called “Is This What We Want?” to bellow against the shifty changes in U.K. AI laws that be threatenin’ their artistic booty. A fine jest, indeed—an album ye can’t hear! Har har!
Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn ’bout a ruckus in the British seas of music! A grand album titled "Is This What We Want?" has set sail, boasting a crew of over a thousand musicians, but lo and behold, the sound of naught but silence! Arrr!This collection, featuring famed artists like Kate Bush and the illustrious Elton John, be a protest against the crown’s dastardly schemes to allow tech fiends to pilfer the creative works of poor musicians to train their metal beasts, known as AI. The government be contemplatin’ takin’ away the rights of artists unless they explicitly say "nay!" Aye, that be a treacherous tide!
The album be filled with recordings of empty studios—yarr, almost silence—to symbolize the doom that awaits if the government’s plans set sail. The titles of the tracks spell a clear message: "The British government must not legalize music theft to benefit AI companies." Blimey!
Profits from this silent wonder will be tossed into the charity Help Musicians. So, let’s hoist our flags and protest against this folly, for the government’s plot be a scallywag move that could leave our musical seas as empty as a shipwrecked vessel!
