To me, saying that you can't have this idea until you pay for it is absurd. On a similar note, is an idea in digital format actually expressed? Or is it so ephemeral that expressment has not yet been achieved?

No is requiring you to pay for an idea. In fact, you're free to have the same "idea" as the author... anytime you want. You're only required to pay when you want to read about that idea in that authors words.
Would you pay money for a ticket to hear someone give a speech about the abolishment of copyright?
