copying an idea is a cost to the copier
i can't believe you don't know about the original copyright case
dude sat down for 3 months copying the vulgate, first english translation of the bible
guy who lent it to him sued him and the king ruled in favour of the owner of the book saying the book was like a cow and the offspring of the cow was his property
for real, you can look it up
3 months. imagine... 3 months you sat there with your quill and ink, spent who knows how much of your time and resources to copy this thing and then the king says the whole copy you made goes to the guy who lent you the book?
pretty steep rent bro
