And the new idea is based on (a lot of) old ideas. At best it's
a new rearrangement of old elements. Especially in technical
fields where valid ideas have to stick to physical/mathematical
principles that are *not* invented, but discovered.
And at any rate, even if an idea is 'very original'(TM), it
doesn't follow that copyright and patents are legitimate.
Also I'd expect libertarians to be well aware of the way
intellectual property is 'abused' for non-libertarian
purposes, like destroying competition and censorship. Though
arguably it's not being abused because that's the true purpose
of IP.
Last but not least, intellectual property is mercantilistic
monopoly with close ties to monarchy. As Mr. Quinn helpfully
noted.
