I wish we were launching this in the halcyon days of a better Twitter when we had much more reach but hopefully there's some aspiring publisher or currently struggling publisher (lol, aren't we all) who might need this and see it!

UK chums, this is a full five-alarm fire. Write your MP, call them, whatever. The governmentβs own survey showed 97% of us wanted copyright strengthened, and those abject fucks are weakening it anyway to appease snake-oil grifters and thieves

For all it's worth, during my time working with Alan last year around the Kelvinside Compendium showed me he's the real deal, really cares about Scotlandβs culture and is bringing all his power to the role with as much diligence as possible. Naysayers will moan but action will speak for itself.
