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.”
It seems you misunderstand the goal of goverment. Goverment doesn’t care if budget goes down, when quality of life goes up. What is the point of not researching and having bigger budget, if it can’t buy thing that did not get created?
And then on goverment level there is no such thing as copyright or patent. On goverment level laws are not some external condition, but something that changed regularly.
They STILL need to put in money to create their own product. You know, they can’t magic production lines into existance.
This is your opinion of what you want governments to be, not what they actually are.
What a lot of negatives and hypotheticals. All solved by getting a return on investment and having that money to do more things with, including research.
I’d like to introduce you to the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) which is an intergovernmental organisation that does precisely what you say doesn’t exist.
Sure, but the cost to duplicate the product is tiny compared to researching, developing then creating a production run for it. And this fake normally severely impacts the profits for the inventor.
But now we’re just repeating the same arguments.
I am sorry your country doesn’t try or even claim to be social.
So in the end money will be spent on research anyway.
And what next? It can’t stop any goverment from ignoring copyright or patent.
