The copycat issue sounds like a capitalism problem.
If a process is good and easy to be copied, it's actually a good thing. It's just that our incentivisation mechanisms currently don't capture it.

I think this is where a lot of IP proponents would argue that IP is a way to form capital where it doesn't exist - around formalizing ideas and processes into something that you are legally entitled to rent. I think this really dangerously damages ideas that can help people and I think that it's a terrible crutch for a bad system.
