I received the following from Getty.
Act now to protect your creative rights.
What’s happening?
The UK government has launched a consultation on ‘Copyright and Artificial Intelligence’ (AI) which ends on Feb 25th. They are proposing a new exception to copyright law, which would enable AI companies to train on your content for free unless your rights are proactively “reserved”.
Although we do proactively reserve your rights, such a system is unworkable in practice as it doesn’t work for images/video already scraped or for downstream copies licensed by and distributed to other platforms (where reservations can unavoidably become detached). It also unevenly weights the cost and administrative burden towards creators and their distributors, not on the companies scraping the copyright works.
The UK government suggests there is lack of legal clarity around the use of copyrighted works for AI training data. This is incorrect. UK copyright law is clear that the use of copyrighted content by AI companies for commercial purposes without a licence is illegal. Whilst we agree with the aims of the proposed reforms to stimulate licensing of copyright content where used to train AI, we believe current copyright law must be preserved, not weakened, in order to achieve these aims.
What can you do?

Les, I see what you mean, I'm always in a rush PP'ing as time is always limited, but I have now adjusted it for contrast and I'll stick it in the Gallery.

Nice set the last photo of the wagtail doesn’t look like our common wagtail more like the European wagtail that I photographed last year 🙂
Lubbyman, haha, the Heron looks pestered and wishing his feathered companions would fly off, no chance of a catch!

If ain't broke, don't fix it.
The work I've put in over the last year for free has turned this around to growth.
Seriously though I like the changes, I can avoid the adverts,
