The Week Australia Protected Artists from AI (And Why It Matters to Everyone)

Lyndon shares his first bass gig experience in tiny Patchewollock before celebrating crucial news: the Australian government has protected copyright laws from AI data mining. Lyndon and Brea discuss the Productivity Commission's controversial proposal, what authors like Hannah Kent and Tim Winton have already had stolen, and why this matters for culture beyond economics. They explore what artists need going forward and conclude with Brea's hopeful vision for a future that values human-made content.Pain In The Arts is a weekly podcast about the reality of creative life.
