Artists including Kate Bush and Cat Stevens made an album of white noise in empty studios, protesting a U.K. proposal to give AI firms access to copyrighted music.

More than 1,000 musicians, including Kate Bush and Cat Stevens, on Tuesday released a silent album to protest proposed changes to Britain's copyright laws, which could allow tech firms to train artificial intelligence models using their work.

A new album called “Is This What We Want?” features a stellar list of more than 1,000 musicians – and the sound of silence.
