Re: Problems with the current copyright model
No, it's because while I'm driving it, you can't. (Its really not that hard to grasp.) When I take your property, I deprive you of it. But when I copy the idea of "Hobbits" and make a tabletop roleplaying game out of it, what are you deprived of? My interpretation or re-interpretation of the notion of "Hobbits" doesn't subtract that notion out of anyone else's mind. It only adds to it.
