Call for AI compensation fund in copyright fight
The Copyright Agency has called for a government-mandated scheme to compensate Australian creators for the predations of AI companies overseas.
The call comes after Atlassian co-founder Scott Farquhar last week demanded an overhaul of copyright laws that he said were preventing billions of dollars of AI investment into Australia.

The Copyright Agency – a not-for-profit that distributes funds to thousands of copyright holders in Australia – rejected Farquhar’s idea and said the government should be charging big AI companies instead.
If Scott Farquhar wants to access original Australian content for LLM for AI – why not do deals and pay for it!
It’s that simple.
If you don’t want to pay for it then forget about it.
