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.”

I was hoping Ken Penders would follow through on his threat to sue Paramount over Locke and Enerjak technically showing up in the Sonic 2 movie. (Characters who aren't named, but have the same role as Locke and Enerjak show up.. Wouldn't matter if they were straight up wearing name tags saying "My name is Locke/My name is Enerjak", the idea that Ken actually won his lawsuits is debunked fiction.)

Seriously, I wanted to see a judge explain to him that no he doesn't own Knuckles or any Sonic character for that matter. And part of that is that "Settling out of court and being tossed some "Fuck off" money" and "Winning the lawsuit and naming your own terms to be obeyed and altered at your leisure" are two entirely different concepts... With the latter not really a thing outside of deluded day dreams.
