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.”

Right? There's no reason Superman and Winnie The Pooh should fall under ANY copyright, everyone involved with the creation of both ins long dead.. The only thing being protected is DC and Disney's bottom line.

And the fact that Tarzan isn't public domain is most absurd

Hell it took forever for Sherlock Holmes to be public domain, and the world he was created in doesn't even remotely exist anymore.
