The UK Plans to Postpone Key Decision on AI-Related Copyright Regulations
On March 7, the Financial Times reported that UK government ministers will delay controversial copyright rule changes—changes that would have made it easier for AI companies to access and use copyrighted media content—amid strong opposition from the creative sector.
A person familiar with the UK government’s response to its two-month public consultation said, “The copyright issue will be put on hold once again.” The consultation sought input on how to regulate AI firms’ access to copyrighted material, with the government’s official response expected within the next two weeks.
Two insiders revealed that public feedback on the consultation did not back any of the government’s proposed plans for AI use of copyrighted content. Ministers have therefore decided to review the plans, gather more evidence, and hold longer consultations on multiple options.

Trump: Iran Will Face Major Retaliation Today
On March 7th, Trump posted on social media:
“Iran—suffering unprecedented devastation—has apologized to its Middle Eastern neighbors, surrendered, and promised no more attacks on them. This commitment is 100% because of the ruthless attacks by the U.S. and Israel. Iran tried to take over and dominate the Middle East. This is the first time in THOUSANDS of years Iran has been defeated in its fight with neighboring Middle Eastern countries. They say, ‘Thank you, President Trump.’ I say, ‘You’re welcome!’
Iran is no longer the ‘Middle East Bully’—it’s a ‘Middle East Loser’ now. This will last for decades until they surrender… or, more likely, collapse completely. Today, Iran is getting a SEVERE blow! Because of Iran’s vile behavior, regions and peoples that weren’t targets before are now under serious consideration for total destruction and inevitable death.”

The regulator plans to release a trading guideline (with this provision) after the “Digital Asset Basic Law” takes effect, allowing listed firms to trade digital assets for investment or financial purposes.
In the “Corporate Cryptocurrency Transaction Guidelines” being developed by South Korea’s Financial Services Commission (FSC), stablecoins will not be included in permitted investment targets.
