Just wanted to say that although I have not read your book yet, I enjoy your work.
One quick question. Do you think that the creators of ideas could ever have a legitimate case for fraud if someone uses/copies their idea without giving credit? This wouldn't limit me from copying your idea and attempting to profit off it, but merely require me to list you as a source.
The only problem I see with this is that every idea in existence borrows elements from other ideas making it difficult if not impossible to enforce such rules in any practical manner. Though it could certainly be handled on a case-by-case basis, and I see people as being much more willing to credit work if they knew they weren't going to be prosecuted for using one.
