The said Galileo was crazy too.
Not mystical at all, but digital has brought a whole raft of new concepts that have yet to be integrated into our social and governmental standards. That's exactly why this current discussion is even taking place.
Also this is not about ideas per-say. Ideas and creations (intellectual property) are different things. In some limited cases they may be the same, if it is a truly novel idea that is instantiated in a writing or statement etc.
Couldn't possibly be more messy than the current U.S.A. Tax law.
