Intellectual property: Copy & paste
The main component in the production of human artifacts is a technology that in the age of the computer is best known as "Copy & Paste" ( CTRL+C, CTRL + V).
Although it may be hard to deny the creative individual all individual creativity, most artists need some input in order to create.
In a computer, when we copy and paste, the paste is identical to the copy, there is no change.
In a human being, the pasted item is never identical to the copied item.
There is always some element added, or subtracted. This is the human imperfection in copy and paste. The root of individual creativity is the imperfection of the copy & paste mechanism.
