Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk Call to Abolish Intellectual Property Law

Such an abolition would only apply in a given jurisdiction, that is the USA. In implementing it the USA would simply be doing what they have for years accused China of doing - ignoring the intellectual property rights of others.

Were those accusations wrong all along?

Of course, the wealthiest man in the world wants to abolish laws that may give others a competitive edge. Why are we indulging this fool?

… in technology (“ abolition of intellectual property laws in technology”)

Wish I could take you all back to Slashdot for a few moments in the late 1990s to see all the similar trash that was HYSTERICALLY being bloviated by young, mostly not American, straight-up socialists who were following around a disgusting dirt bag living off MIT tenure and later, a dude who got rich writing a PDF download about giving away your code in a cathedral or bazaar (/s). The "open source" movement even bled into pop culture appearing in a boardroom scene in Disney's "Tron" movie. The Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China and especially the Republic of India thank them all for giving EVERYTHING THEY HAD to them as fast as it could be downloaded.

The arguments against "open source" back then are no longer valid. That ship sailed (or should I say sunk?) They commoditized the art-science while driving engineering wages down, killing the country's competitive edge that every male and several females in my family for generations literally fought to create and now, train AI models that write and deploy apps based on single commands issued by get-rich-quick-schemers or even other AI models. https://youtu.be/mpWe5C58y40

PS: Published my first "public domain software" in mid-1980s on the DECUS mass magnetic-tape duplication service that ran at every convention (bet you thought I was going to say "Fred Fish Floppies" lol.)

Fuck Dorsey, the guy is cancer just like Musk
