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

- ChoGGi 9mo agoI think we should severely limit copyrights and patents, but not get rid of them entirely. Or they're just ideas.
- kalleboo 9mo agoIt's an interesting debate. One more thing they did was prove there was a market for the idea.
- _DeadFred_ 9mo agoThat 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.
