Hi folks, I've personalised the letter but when I attempt to send it, 'Loading' appears for ages and then I get an error (522) pop up.

That's a timeout error. Probably whatever they're connecting to to send the letter is overloaded right now :)

Hi Marie, thanks for letting us know. I'll pass the message on to our IT team. I suggest trying again a little bit later, apologies!

Maybe so done should point out to the AI fans that this would also mean their own IP would be freely available to be copied without legal recourse as well.

Something that OpenAI appears to hate after having it done to them

Is this just for UK residents or can anyone worldwide fill this out?

Presumably, if you're a creative who wants to sell your work within the UK, but you're not based here, then it's wise to see what position your own country takes on this. Clearly, movements across the world need to coordinate on this issue. Stopping it in one country would be futile.

What does it mean for authors in the education section, where the content is the author’s, but the design, layout & illustrations are copyrighted to the publishers. If the publisher opts out, does that include content in the opt out?

todays writing warm up was putting ever increasingly nowty responses in these boxes.

Copyright IS the act of opting out of allowing others to use your work without permission. That's kinda the whole point, yeh?
