You cannot convince me that the words in a book do not convey an idea into my mind because I am telling you that they do. So you wish to copyright the words and strangle the idea before it has a chance to reach my mind? I must tell you that this is unacceptable behavior for any free society to behave in and thus any society with copyright systems in place is NOT FREE.

What planet do you live on?
Copyright is a legal protection. The law in the U.S. says that ideas cannot be copyrighted.
Who the heck said anything about words not conveying ideas? Of course they do--at least here on Earth--but only the words can be copyrighted, NOT THE IDEAS.
I have an idea--from now on, I'm going to engage in conversation only with Earthlings. Bye.
