Labour Party

Strongly agree

Yes, we need a "Spotify for data" licensing model to fairly compensate creators

A collective licensing/market mechanism to compensate creators fits Labour’s preference for regulated solutions that rebalance power and ensure fair remuneration (akin to sector-wide frameworks rather than pure laissez-faire).

Strongly agree

Yes

Labour has generally backed stronger creator protections and fair remuneration in the digital economy; recent Labour messaging on AI has emphasised responsible innovation and protecting rights-holders rather than blanket exemptions.

Agree

Yes, but only for future models, as auditing old datasets is impossible

Labour would be open to transitional arrangements that are administratively feasible; a forward-looking licensing/consent regime aligns with a pragmatic regulatory approach, even if it leaves unresolved disputes about past training.

Agree

Yes, using creative work without permission is theft, regardless of the technology

Labour would likely sympathise with the underlying fairness claim for creators, but the absolutist framing ('theft regardless of technology') is stronger than Labour’s typically pragmatic, law-and-regulation approach to copyright and innovation.

Slightly disagree

No, mandatory fees would kill open-source and hand a monopoly to Big Tech

Labour may share concerns about Big Tech dominance and support open innovation, but it would be unlikely to oppose creator compensation on that basis; it would more likely seek exemptions/support for SMEs/open-source while keeping remuneration principles.

Disagree

No, AI learning is "fair use" just like a human reading a book

UK law does not have US-style 'fair use', and Labour has not generally argued for broad copyright carve-outs for AI training; it has tended to stress rights-holder protection and accountability over permissive exceptions.

Strongly disagree

No

A flat rejection of royalties conflicts with Labour’s pro-worker/creator stance and its tendency to support regulation to ensure fair pay and bargaining power in markets affected by new technology.
