Deepfakes and Digital Identity
2026/10/01
Without personality rights you do not own the digital version of your face, image, voice or likeness. This episode dives into the harms caused by unauthorised deepfakes and what we can do about it. I discuss: What rights to artists have over AI generated versions of themselves? What’s the current legal position on voice cloning and deepfakes in the UK today? What are other countries doing to address the issue of deepfakes rights? Should the UK introduce personality rights, and what would that mean? As well as the low down on registering trade marks, what you can register them for and if they might be relevant in the context of AI and my recommendations for addressing the harms of unauthorised deepfakes.
IN THIS EPISODE
00:48 You don’t own your face in digital form – how deepfakes are a threat to our ability to control our own likeness
01:36 The 3 key harms caused by unauthorised deepfakes from Hayleigh’s research: 1) Deepfakes used for disinformation and fraud
04:20 2) Deepfakes used in violence against women and girls, and the two reasons why the harm is ‘real’ even though the video or picture may not be
08:03 3) Deepfakes displacing creative workers
10:45 What rights to artists have over AI generated versions of themselves? What about registering a trade mark?
16:06 What’s the current legal position on voice cloning and deepfakes in the UK today? Considering copyright, defamation, criminal laws, the UK Online Safety Act, passing off
21:36 How the regulation of deepfakes is being approached in other countries.
25:53 Should the UK introduce personality rights, and what would that mean?
28:49 Recommendations for addressing the harms of unauthorised deepfakes, personality rights, and other measures.

All About Streaming
2026/09/24
This episode covers the UK Streaming Inquiry; how it started, what went down and the outcomes including the Agreed Principles and what those means for artists, songwriters and musicians – from wiping unrecouped advances, contract negotiation to payment of per diems for songwriting sessions - and how we measure if these Principles are effective or not, with the songwriter and artist surveys. I also answer: Is streaming actually fair for artists and what does the data show? What are the agreed principles following the UK Streaming Inquiry and do they go far enough? What would a fairer streaming module look like? Plus, how law is made up and we can think of creative ways to better support creators such as Ireland’s base income for artists.IN THIS EPISODE00:57 The UK Streaming Inquiry, how it started, what went down and the outcomes 05:26 Is streaming actually fair for artists and what does the data show?09:33 What are the Agreed Principles following the UK Streaming Inquiry and do they go far enough?11:09 Principle 1: Commercial support for legacy artists, including forgiving unrecouped advances 12:19 Principle 2: Technical and marketing support for legacy artists 12:47 Principle 3: Contract re-negotiation 14:46 Principle 4: Supporting new and emerging songwriters with Per Diems for songwriting sessions16:30 Principle 5: Increased session fee for pop and classical musicians 17:15 Measuring the effectiveness of the Agreed Principles: The songwriter and artist surveys 18:53 What would a fairer streaming module look like?
