Honestly people ignoring this are the ones who never really created original work themselves. Go write a song, or a book, paint something, create a unique program. And then watch somebody else earn money from it while investing none of your lost resources.

Lol you telling this to open source devs is the epitome of irony 😂
I invite everyone and anyone to copy every bit of every program that I've ever written, that is copy-able. if there exists something that I didn't want you to copy and yet you can still do it.
It's on me.

We’re all copying Twitter. I spent a year designing things hoping people copy them 🤣
That's not what we're talking about though. Open source devs have to make ends meal, they don't do it by giving own made stuff away to the void, do they? V4V.
I think you missed the point. You write a book and want to be valued. Therefore you want to get back resources invested. By this definition you shouldn't, can't, and it's your problem. Yay artists of any kind. Or do you want to sell copies of your book? Then we're on the same page. People create for living, it's not ok to take their author rights by half-baked definition of "copying isn't stealing." It doesn't hurt for a 70x copied meme, but for a book carefully written over a year? Yikes.
We are all a product of our past experiences. Therefore, every idea is copyright infringement.
Imagine Johannes Lippius was able to copywrite musical chords in 1612.
