| Message | Nonsense. Products of ideas can be and are copy-righted. So who owns the rights to MY ideas then? Why? Based on what principles or morality? Are you saying that one should create not for the gain of oneself, but for his loss and the gain of others? On what premise? Who wins and who loses in that deal? What if the originators of ideas choose not to share them on that immoral premise? What you all do then? |
