A while ago record companies were suing families for for huge sums for downloading a couple of tracks. Now, AI firms are stealing catalogues of music for 'training purposes' and are getting away scot free. How does that work then?

On Tuesday MPs held an evidence session on alternative forms of ownership for water. This wouldn’t have happened without the groundswell of support for public ownership. The pressure this has created has pushed the debate on from whether we replace the current privatised mess, to how we replace it.
Burnham's plan to fix sewage crisis and lower water bills 'could fail'. This is why

Question: There's a fair amount of backlash around building data centres in cities therefore why not build them out at sea? Resources required: Water - well, it'll be surrounded by it. Electricity - can be harnessed through waves. Prove me wrong. #datacenter
