Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.

I personally fear that if such a decision was passed, we would see big companies find loopholes and exceptions and/or they would make their profit entirely by stealing from creators without compensation or acknowledgements.

You want to hurt the big companies so badly you’re willing to saw the branch they, you and everybody else sit on just so you can see them fall.

I doubt the big companies will be the ones who will feel threatened into negotiations if IP laws were abolished. They would flourish with their businesses and the AI tech bros would have field day making billions by stealing from all of us.

Your utopia is every creator’s nightmare.

Your utopia is every creator’s nightmare.

I didn’t say “utopia”. We need IP laws. But since we continue to let Disney (and other mega corporations) dictate the entire terms of engagement - we need to bring “burning the whole thing down and starting over” into the list of options under consideration. It’s the only way to bring Disney back to the bargaining table, at minimum.

Why on earth does every interpretation you have start with the assumption that people advocating for the destruction of IP are not also simultaneously arguing for the destruction of any company who could find a workaround? You’re approaching this from the silliest angle ever. The person you’re arguing against doesn’t exist. Anyone who is truely against IP also wants any company who is using currently profiting off of IP to be destroyed along with it

It’s such a weird take. Also, “creator” shouldn’t be a job. Nothing that isn’t critical to human survival should be part of the monetary system. Art should only exist for arts sake and everyone should be afforded enough time to pursue it fully without worrying about survival

No IP + universal income is the only moral way forward

I believe it would be darker than mere loopholes. Corporations would probably both protect their own IP and steal each others’ IP through militant means. Like, Cyberpunk 2077 could become reality.

  No. Militant means aren’t needed when no IP exists, especially when we use the same force we’re discussing to enforce the “no IP” issue to enforce the “not trade secrets” rider that goes along with it. IP is a blight and are shouldn’t be a job. The commercialization of art is forcing you to excuse millions of preventable deaths because you don’t also want to address the issue that we allow people to work far longer per week than is natural or right. If you were still surviving on 20hrs of labor a week like all of humanity did pre capitalism, you wouldn’t be bitching so much about your art being stolen because art would return to a leisure pursuit for you where it should be.
  
  You’re being fucked so hard you’ve completely lost sight of what’s important and it’s allowing you to justify genocide by withholding access to lifesaving drugs because you want to make money off a drawing
