Bio: composer, record producer and songwriter Magnus Fiennes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_Fiennes Argument: William Tunstall-Pedoe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Tunstall-Pedoe warns "that over-regulating tech will hurt the UK economy. AI is a global race. The risk is if that if we have bad regulation, bad overly tight regulation in the UK, all it will do is drive the innovation that would have happened here to happen elsewhere. The perennial argument made by big tech. But unless there's regulation and fast, the creative industry says it could be driven away entirely" (Kennedy, S., 2026, March 18). Comment: to me, this phenomenon has shades of Apple's infamous 2001 'Rip. Mix. Burn.' https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39752043/ ad https://newpractices.co.uk/messaging/#pleybGLgaEc which seemed to legitimise the process of Apple customers ripping published content (and thereby relegating published music as mere 'content') so that they could produce personalised CD compilations.
