Political ‘reality’

A KC has told the PM that his attempts to make copyright theft okay in the UK conflict with international law in the form of the Berne Convention, which established that copyright exists as soon as something is written down or otherwise recorded.
    Mr. Smarmer is trying to pretend that as the Convention doesn’t mention A.I. specificially, it’s okay for him to ignore it. Even though the Convention was formulated in 1886, when A.I. didn’t exist.
    So much for the lawyer’s grasp on reality.
