Great points. I need to digest that. The ‘cult of the original’ (works attributed to creators) only emerged in the late medieval era. Also the idea of institutional identity (monasteries, then eventually, limited liability corporations) aside from the Church and Sovereign emerged during that time. Patents and copyrights have always been ‘monopolies’ granted by the State/King and part of our institutional framework that they are taken for granted.
