The laws of all countries very much disagree with you.  It all depends
on what *kind* of information it is.

Hasbro bought the company, Microprose, that did.  Legally speaking,
companies can own other companies.

Let me ask you this: how do you pay your bills?  Do you have a job?  Do
you think people are entitled to your labor for free?  How do you think
the tangible products of your labor should be protected?  Or do you
think labor should never have a tangible product?  If so, I have a
difficulty seeing how anyone would ever get anything done, as there
would be no permanent storage of human labor.  We'd have to constantly
re-make everything.
