September has arrived and with it a new academic year. We always try to go away on holiday during the first two weeks of September. This year, we went to Center Parcs Whinfell Forest again as it is the farthest north, until the one in Scotland will open in 2029. We enjoy Center Parcs for its seclusion, being surrounded by nature, and the varied wildlife.

However, the world of copyright does not tend to take vacation, and I find that it has been, as usual very busy in the world of copyright and AI.
