‘Don’t kill music’: Anthony Albanese’s favourite bands beg PM to stop AI companies from stealing their work

Australian musicians, including members of Powderfinger and the Go-Betweens, are urging Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to oppose proposals by tech companies seeking to weaken copyright laws to allow AI training on Australian creative works. The government has denied plans to relax protections, but artists warn that such changes could harm their rights and cultural identity. They call for legal safeguards to prevent unauthorized use of their music in AI development.
