I'll ask you what I asked someone else. What if me, you, and a few others are hunter gatherers living off the land. I somehow get the bright idea to build a house on some land, herd animals, and grow crops. Then I say, if anyone else wants to copy this, it'll cost you 10,000 bananas. So what's the verdict - is it right for me to have a monopoly on my idea? I came up with it after all. Is it immoral for you to copy it without paying what I ask?
