So if wooden crates are not scarce, and you come into my house and take mine without permission then it is just?
Very utilitarian of you.
If I had countles wooden crates and it did not cost me anything (not time nor materials nor money) to create an infinite more... Why wouln't I let you take as many as you want from my inventory?
Wanting consequences for someone who did something that doesn't affect you at all (like duplicating something yours: no one loses anything) just for the sake of it is just selfish and petty.
Cost of opportunity does not apply to ideas. Amazon, Google, Microsoft... They don't win money just by "owning" ideas, but by having the means and infrastructure to execute them as a service for people and companies that don't want to create it themselves.
You are not going to get money from owning an idea. No one is going to pay you for something that isn't even a prototype, and big companies will just create a legally-defendable copycat and deploy it on their infra. And this can be applied to music, writing, art... Etc.
