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.”

    Nah copyright is useful for free software. Patents, we could probably live without patents

    Trademark is also useful. I don’t want Tyson making fake vegan hot dogs

      Free software is response to software copyright and software patents.

      Trademark is also useful. I don’t want Tyson making fake vegan hot dogs

      It has nothing to do with trademark.
