Default Re: Copyrights and patents

Someone always trys to make this "ideas aren't scarce" argument to say copyrights are a farce. Heres how that really works.

Sure everyone has "ideas" but a good or better idea is singular and unique. A child has the idea to bang on pans to make music, but on Jimmy Hendrix can make Electric Ladyland.
