66 h. ago ‘I watched Bob Dylan play tennis with three of the Beatles’: how we made the Isle of Wight festival

‘It’s a myth that Jimi Hendrix played while the stage was on fire. It was a firework’In 1968, when I was 22, my older brother Ronnie got a job as a fundraiser for a swimming pool on the island. I’d done a concert for CND [the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament], so we started talking about doing some sort of festival to raise the money. My younger brother Bill suggested it had to be pop. An agency in London gave Ronnie a list of acts including the Pretty Things, the Move, Fairport Convention, Tyrannosaurus Rex and an American act, Jefferson Airplane.

2 w. ago We have a chance to prevent AI decimating Britain’s creative industries – but it’s slipping away | Beeban Kidron

The government has doubled down on a plans that would allow mass cultural theft, but we are fighting it at every stageBeeban Kidron is a film director and crossbench peer in the House of LordsFor months now, legends of music, literature, product design, the visual arts and more have been sounding the alarm about the British government’s plan to undermine copyright law. The fight kicked off when the government launched a consultation into regulating artificial intelligence with its own “preferred” outcome: letting AI companies steal copyrighted work by default unless the owners of that work “opt out”. But opting out is impossible to do without AI transparency. The plan is a charter for theft, since creatives would have no idea who is taking what, when and from whom.When the government stoops to a preferred outcome that undermines the moral right to your work and income, you might reasonably be angered.
