Hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand
I was just thinking that I just heard this idea discussed recently, and then I remembered that it was from Adam Ragusea, a cooking channel I watch. The video was "Who ethically owns recipes?" And it touched on a lot of the same stuff as in this interview– he also came to a similar conclusion. The problem that people draw so much inspiration from the work of someone else, who got it from someone else, who got it from someone else, etc. and somewhere along the line you could say that a recipe was "blatantly stolen" from someone else at some point in the evolution.
I don't think there is a "one size fits all" answer to this problem, but we can still apply certain principles to each situation and bear the ethical responsibilities to attribute and compensate where appropriate, but it's hard to create a legally binding contract for every single instance.
I didn't want to believe it, but when I played "Taurus" by Spirit beside "Stairway to Heaven", I instantly lost all respect for Led Zeppelin. To not even give a single shoutout, that's messed up.
If every invention ever was legally protected by force. We probably wouldn't be here debating it.
This is a hard question to answer.
It's different which ever way you look at it.
On the one hand, it doesn't seem right if someone can take your idea, recreat it and trade it for food and a place to live. But on the other hand, one caveman ordering another not to copy his rock/knife is also immoral. Mainly because someone else will eventually get there on there own if it's relatively simple to create. For things that aren't, like art. Art shouldn't be produced for a garunteed price, it's not what puts food on the table and troops on the front line. It can be bought but not legally protected because it never was.
