Billions typically paid for by government subsidy, id est taxpayers. I'm not sure what the justification is for private IP rights when the capital is socialized.

Shelob is a god or, like Bombadil older than the gods and they know better not to fuck with her. (It's not clear)
Um, the frost giants built the rainbow by hand and are done with it after the götterdämmerung of Ásgarðr. They made it pretty taking pride in their workmanship and welcome public use.
Aside from hippies LGBT+ symbology and Apple Computer circa 1970s, the rainbow was used in the 1980s by the video tape industry to represent the brilliant color replication of of it products.
The rainbow shown to Noah is only a single use after the fact.
Also, as if Adonai didn't rip off Hephaestus' designs for Zeus' thunderbolts. Divine intellectual piracy runs rampant.
PS: The dwarves engineered their own thunderhammer for Thor, independent of Hephaestus, though they admit it is not a perfect build.
If I don't get laid, I may be too depressed to be social.
If I dont get paid, I may be too poor for fun stuff.
It works both ways.
Queer up!
I am terrified.
Hilbert's Grand Hotel can manage an infinite number of boulders, each containing an infinite number of Sisyphuses (Sisyphi? Sisyphes? Sisyphodes?) by designating each boulder a prime number and each Sisyphus a counting number, and multiplying the two to get their room number.
This leaves some rooms open for additional guests, which may get management angry about underutilized rooms. There are other configurations that pack everyone in more tightly.
That's okay, if someone has to tell his secret-serviceperson he's the fucking president then he's not a true president.
So he's living true to his idol.
Simulated universe hypotheses.
Skiplagging cuts into dividends. What it doesn't cut into is the ruthlessly low pay of the pilots, what has been near-minimum-wage for decades now.
Yet another reason for me not to fly.
I'd say society is better off with no IP related temporary monopoly than the system we have. There are enough instances where creators die penniless and publishers make all the profits to suggest there already is no financial incentive for an inventor to invent. Like Goodyear, they do it more as a hobby or in the interest of society.
Maybe if we had social safety nets so everyone not rich wasn't desperate, we might be able to have a robust innovation sector that was less focused on using law to screw competitors and consumers.
