I can't tell if you're just trolling me now. Three hundred years ago the world was a completely different place.
We didn't have labor and environmental arbitrage like we do now. One could email IP to someone in China who can mass produce it, with lower quality, lower costs, higher environmental impact and ship it across the Pacific a month later.
300 years ago, if someone stole your windmill design and took it to china, you'd never know.
