"Silence Speaks: Musicians Come Together Against AI Copyright Dangers".

A new album called 'Is This What We Want?' has been made to speak out against new rules in the UK about music and computers. Many famous musicians like Kate Bush and Damon Albarn are part of this album to protect their music.

The UK government is thinking about letting tech companies use music to teach computers even if musicians don't like it. Musicians are worried that this will make it hard for them to own their music and could hurt the music industry in the UK.

The protest album is very special because it is mostly quiet. The 12 songs on the album are recordings of empty studios, showing what might happen if the government changes the rules.

The album's title is spelled out by the names of the songs and it asks the government to not allow music theft. All the money made from the album will go to a charity that helps musicians.

The government says it wants to make the UK a leader in computer technology, but musicians and artists want to protect their work. They believe that the UK can be good at technology without hurting the music and arts.
