Crucially, the approach of the UK Creative Industries’ Make It Fair campaign - of resisting AI ‘piracy’ by preserving or strengthening copyright law - ignores what Bellos and Montagu make clear in Who Owns This Sentence? A History of Copyrights and Copywrongs:

• Copyright is a major driver of inequality in the twenty-first century.
• It plays a pivotal but often overlooked role when it comes to understanding the roots of disparities of wealth in modern societies.
• the wealthiest corporations globally derive their power primarily from owning copyright and patents, with ‘sixteen of the fifty richest people in the world’ amassing their fortunes entirely or partially from copyright-related industries.

What’s so fair about this?

- You are already organizing
- You have experience of #DataCentreActivism elsewhere

**please get in touch.** DM and we'll move to Signal or similar to discuss further.
