Aah, cut off the crap Clegg.

Under the current IP and copyright laws across the world, your argument has as much merit as “let robbers steal; asking others permission before snatching their stuff would ‘kill’ the black market”.

And, if the idiotic laws are to be revoked, they should be revoked for everyone. This would allow you to train your bloody models on those artists - but it would also allow everyone to grab things from your “industry” and you should not be able to do anything against them.

Pick a choice. One of those two. Enough of this bloody Bob Dylan defence* - either everyone is a thief, or everyone is a king; your industry is not such special snowflake, and you are not a higher caste above the rest of us dammit.

* Steal a little and they throw you in jail / Steal a lot and they make you king
