An exciting debate on the intellectual property law flared up over the weekend on social network X after Jack Dorsey, co -founder of Twitter (now X) and Square (now Block), posted a short status line: "Removing the entire intellectual property law". Elon Musk, who owns X, quickly responded: "I agree".
According to Tech Crunch, although it is unclear what has led to this statement, but the speech of Dorsey and Mr. Musk was made in the context of artificial intelligence companies, including Openai - co -founder by Elon Musk - currently facing many lawsuits for alleged copyright violations during model training.
However, not everyone supports this view. Ed Newton -Rex, the head of the Fairly Trained non -profit organization, specializes in certifying the training practice that respects the creator's rights - calling the dialogue between Mr. Dorsey and Elon Musk as a "comprehensive battle from technology operators aimed at creators who do not want their work to be exploited for profit".
Writer Lincoln Michel also reacted harshly, affirming that "no Jack or Elon's company may survive without intellectual property law" and concluded: "They only hate artists".
Jack Dorsey later explained that he believed to have "better models to pay for the creator", while the current system "takes too much from them and is only exploited."
When lawyer Nicole Shanahan objected harshly and said that "Intellectual Property Law is the only thing that distinguishes human creativity from whom", Jack Dorsey responded that it was "the new creativity that is a distinct factor, and the current system is inhibiting that, bringing the right to pay into the intermediate organizations without fairness in a fair manner".
For its part, Elon Musk has repeatedly publicly skeptical attitude to the intellectual property law. He once told Jay Leno that "patent is for the weak", and in 2014, Tesla would not perform patent for companies using them in a goodwill. However, Tesla then sued Australia's Cap-XX company in terms of patent.
Jack Dorsey also supported open source models in social networks, notably the initiation of the Bluesky project. However, he left the Board of Directors, and the Bluesky CEO then said that Jack Dorsey's departure was "liberated" the company from the feeling that this was just a secondary project of a technology billionaire.
Although this seems to be only a personal conversation on social networks, in the current context, the boundary between the above words and the government policy is no longer too clear - especially when Elon Musk has joined President Donald Trump's government and runs large -scale cuts through the Government effectively by him.
