Getting 6 months, you were lucky! I've heard of kickstarters that were ripped off on AliExpress before they even finished their own product...

  Doesn't that just mean that they brought little more to the table than an idea?

    I think we should severely limit copyrights and patents, but not get rid of them entirely. Or they're just ideas.

    It's an interesting debate. One more thing they did was prove there was a market for the idea.

    That is the whole point of copyright/patent law. Society benefits by having interesting ideas brought to market, and society misses/looses out when people who bring ideas to market are punished by copycats, stopping new ideas/innovation. You wouldn't have had an industrial revolution without copyright/patent laws. In the modern world where we have done most of the low hanging fruit a new novel idea could be even more valuable for society to protect.
