Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter (now X) and Square (now Block), sparked a weekend’s worth of debate around intellectual property, patents, and copyright, with a characteristically terse post declaring, “delete all IP law.”

X’s current owner Elon Musk quickly replied, “I agree.”

Hard yes. Glad to see there's at least one thing we are aligned on.

If they did could we use the Twitter bird or Tesla logo all we wanted? I mean yeah let's get rid of all IP law but get rid of it for everyone. If we want to copy a big corporation then yeah we should do that. Get rid of copyright and trademarks, woo! Publish all that hidden patented material so anyone can produce it. Let's get creative. You think big corps will get on board with all this?

I don't think Elon is that smart to realize what 'delete all IP laws' entails. He probably thinks it in the sense of an anarcho-capitalist.

Anarchy for me not for thee.

Yeah bullshit they want to delete IP law. Go ahead and copy Square, Xhitter, Tesla, SpaceX, etc and watch them explode.

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Well a billionaire commanded we argue about copyright law. I guess we need to expend our energy and build enough momentum so that Musk can grab more power during the turmoil.

Trumpers did their part by arguing about free speech. Time to tap into our issues with IP laws and help Musk too!

Interesting considering the lack of IP law is going to become Tesla's downfall.

[–] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Honestly at this point, poor people have no form of IP protection whatsoever, even before chat GPT it was commonplace for megacorps to just take other peoples work and profit from and now that LLMs are here its outright routine. So why keep that shit when it only benefits the rich.

Can't disagree here, this would be great

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 1 week ago

Ok. Then you don't own anything anymore.

I'll start making Teslas that don't suck.

I think Disney might have a few things to say about that.

Along with every other film studio, record company, publisher, video game studio…

…engineering firm, architecture firm…

…pharma company, law firm…

And people flocked to this guy's social network

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It is not and never was his social network. And the fact that they upset him so badly that he left is probably a good sign.
