AIM has signed up to a newly formed group of creative sector bodies seeking to promote positive development of AI that helps to drive growth and value both for creativity and technology. A new coalition of rights holders including publishers, authors, artists, music producers, specialist interest publications, unions, and photographers has called on government to spur growth in the creative and tech sectors by protecting copyright ahead of an imminent consultation. Launching today, the Creative Rights in AI Coalition has published three key principles for copyright and GAI policy and a statement supported by all member organisations. The coalition is calling on government to adopt the principles as a framework for developing AI policy: 1. IP and a dynamic licensing market 2. Transparency 3. Growth and innovation #creativerightsai More info: https://lnkd.in/eREyKB4C

On TikTok’s imposed deadline day for labels to sign direct terms to boycott Merlin, IMPALA Independent Music Companies Association has published an open letter calling for collaboration & specific action points to achieve a strong, cooperative partnership without strong-arm tactics. AIM’s interim CEO Gee Davy commented: “While some independents may be able to secure beneficial direct licenses, TikTok’s refusal to license with Merlin and self-imposed deadline today means that many will no longer have that choice. As a leader in the digital space, TikTok has an opportunity to demonstrate good practice and fulfil its stated intention to operate a level playing field and aid success “across genres and countries, established stars to those just starting out”, by re-engaging”.
