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.”

      …and that’s moving the goalposts.

      In my initial comment I said ‘no one’, and your first reply did not narrow the scope. I even said ‘no one’ again in my reply and you did not narrow the scope then either. So the standard was ‘no one does this’, except I’ve now shown an example of someone who does, so trying to qualify that now by adding some new arbitrary standard is just moving the goalposts. If the government does it then the fact that no one does it is false, isn’t it?

        I didn’t move anything, you’re just playing stupid semantics games to win internet points. I have no interest in such vapid arguments.

          Nor the more substantial argument I was making, it seems, since you didn’t seem to take the time to understand it. Fair enough, I can respect the ability to walk away from a discussion you don’t have a counter-argument for even if you don’t seem to have the ability to admit it.
