It's wrong, you know it, so quit complaining about reasons why you should be allowed to do it.
Read carefully. I'm only going to waste my time once.

Since you are such the model of intellectual rigor; explain to the audience, in pratical terms; how an individual, or an entity, could own an intellectual concept, otherwise known as an idea?
How long could an individual, or entity prevent this idea from being stolen and being reproduced, once the idea is presented publicly?
How long can an idea, especially a popular one, be contained or restricted, when presented publicly?
What political and economic systems can possibly be successful in limiting a publicly expressed idea for an indefinite period of time?
Answer these questions, and I might just continue wasting my intellectual property on you.
Have a good one.
