Yes, ideas are another thing you can't own the way you own a car. Sometimes you can patent them for a little while, but that's it.

Same is true of Land or Cars or anything else....that's exactly my point. It's only "yours" because some law says so.
What the guys up there are saying is that it is NEVER yours it belongs to society.
That's why I made the analogy. You can either believe in private property (including ideas/copyright/patents) or not. There is really no difference in the way the concepts should work.
