@Dudebro @Hoss @Terry @Elliptica @William_The_Dragonborn I think the original ideas of copyright and patent are good. The problem is that these were inventions to protect individuals, not companies. This was because an author couldn't know if their next book would sell, or the inventor that their stuff would catch on.

But with companies able to spend money to advertise to almost guarantee they make their investment back - it's different.
