        Bad knock offs are frustrating. If they’re gonna copy, they need to do a good job. Bad copies are just infuriating and disrespectful to the original author.

        But if the idea has traction you are being creative and would have been more rewarded when putting out a product had a higher barrier to entry. Because, remember you're not just inventing you're starting a biz.
