Why aren't the inventors of all intellectual property given the same benefits? Consider the mathematics and sciences that are invented, published, and taught in colleges. You can copyright the printed material but the 'idea' itself can't be protected. We don't provide Einstein's heirs with royalty checks everytime a school or book mentions relativity. Newton, Leibnitz, Darwin, Godel, Cantor, et. al. don't get squat. In math and science the 'ideas' are made freely available to the public, and only physical property based on these ideas are provided with property protections.
