Ideas cannot be owned. People can be owned, if you have slavery.

Everyone must unlearn the term "Intellectual Property". These laws are anti-property rights. They are Intellectual Slavery laws (https://breckyunits.com/an-unpopular-phrase.html).

The United States government employs more knowledge workers than all other companies (see NIH, DoD, CDC, NASA, NOAA, NWS, et cetera). Everything they produce is public domain, by law. And yet, the people producing these information products still get paid!

We don't need (c)opywrong laws. We don't need Intellectual Slavery laws. We still have cotton even after the 13th Amendment (we actually have more and better cotton now), and we will still have creative works after the passing of the Intellectual Freedom Amendment (we actually will have more and better creative works) - https://breckyunits.com/the-intellectual-freedom-amendment.h....
