  So you are assuming they didn’t make them for reasons that didn’t exist at the time.

  Ok.

    No. I’m assuming that they didn’t make them based on simple and rational thought processes that I’ve already outlined several times.

    Does the fact that the richest billionaires in the world all want to get rid of them not concern you at all?

      I assume that the way that Dorsey and Musk want to ‘get rid of them’ means for everyone else and will be terrible.

      But that doesn’t have anything to do with the fact that before patents and copyright people made all kinds of things and had zero reason to not make something just because someone else cpuld too. That is a made up theory of yours that has no basis in reality.

        What does that mean? Who is everyone else? You think they only want IP for themselves? No, they don’t want new companies to be able to innovate. Because then they could steal their ideas and apply their wealth to them to make a superior product. This no one would be able to compete with them. Pretty rational idea, don’t you think?

        You’re misrepresenting my statement. That’s not what I said. Please don’t do that.
