@bot ideas cannot be owned or stolen because of what copying entails. if I have a pie, and you steal it, I have to not have that pie anymore. if you look at my pie it and make another one, you haven't stolen anything from me. I can't go to the policeman and say look bot stole my pie. he will point at the kitchen counter and say no she didn't, it's right there. if I say here's my pie and here's goatmeal's original pie recipe, and you come along and say no no this is bot's original pie recipe, then what you have done to me is a transgression, but it's not theft. it's lying and bearing false witness. it can't be theft because I still have my pie.
