    Because the example is not about copyright in particular but monopoly vs exclusive access. I wanted one that’s not about art to illustrate the point, and the priciple is the same in this regard.

      trademark has nothing to do with copyright. they’re two sets of laws that developed a two different times for two different reasons.
