So any company that spends hundreds of millions on developing a new product would risk not getting any money back as copycats can copy the invented product and can sell it cheaper because they do not need to make up for the cost of development? Wouldnt this make spending money on innovating products way to risky, thus reducing the will to come up with new stuff?

that which is unseen.
Why should I be forced to subsidize this particular business model?
