The webpage from TechCrunch discusses a recent debate sparked by Twitter (now X) and Square (now Block) co-founder Jack Dorsey and X's current owner Elon Musk over intellectual property (IP) law. Through social media, Dorsey expressed a desire to "delete all IP law," a sentiment Musk agreed with. The comments occur amidst a time when AI companies, including OpenAI, are facing lawsuits for alleged copyright infringement in the training of their models. Dorsey suggests that the current system is stifling creativity and unfairly benefiting gatekeepers, advocating for better methods to compensate creators. Musk's stance aligns with his previous sentiments, having expressed skepticism about patents' usefulness. Dorsey's interest in open-source approaches and Musk's influence on government policy, following his involvement in the Trump administration, provide additional context and potential implications to their shared stance on IP law.
