I totally agree and that's why I put my music out under the value for value model. I realised that as soon as it touches the internet it is basically available and free everywhere for everyone. Howeve...
Economically speaking, you need capital in order to produce things, those are the means of production, and they include, land, resources, and labor. But ideas are also required for any production.
Imagine you're on an island with all the resources laid out infront of you, but you lack any ideas or information of *how* to build anything. You'd starve without accomplishing anything.
The beauty of ideas is that it's the only production good that is non scarce, thus not rivalerous, and thus anyone can use it without taking from another. The fact that copying someone else's idea to help you build your things is **beautiful** and the world would collapse without it.
Just imagine if you we're not allowed to play a C# in your songs because someone else came up with that vibration, or you couldn't riff off someone else's theme. Music would die of stagnation and boredom if we would put ideas in the same box as property.
