A Penny for my Thoughts

It is often said that a man has many amazing ideas. There are those who would take of them without giving due credit or payment for that thought, however.


Personally, I think that if someone thinks of something, they are duly entitled to one penny per copy of that idea that is sold. Direct deposit to bank account is quite easy to do. Even today, there are those who know exactly who thought of an idea that they have unjustly taken.

I think that companies who do this should follow an honor system; if they take an idea from someone else, that someone is entitled to at LEAST one penny per copy sold, as well as a copy of their own.

I support this idea because I personally don't mind not getting credit; after all, I lacked the resources to make it myself, but I wouldn't mind a penny for my thoughts and a copy of my own such that I may benefit from it without paying $100+ for my own idea.
