They own the rights and have for way longer than you guys are saying a copyright should last.

And we're talking about TURNING A PROFIT rather than just making it yourself.


People sell pizzas today without paying royalties to the inventor of pizza do they not?

Beethoven is in movies and they don't pay a dime to descendants or relatives.

Coke already made billions off of coke. If the recipe was well known and 50 years from now a guy starts selling it, sure he should be able to make a profit.
See, this forces the giant megacorp to innovate and come up with something new rather than monopolize a 150 year old recipe.

You want mankind to be stale and not make new things? Giant megacorps have more money than a regular guy. Why we want the regular guy to be the inventor but let megacorps coast on some dead dude?

Btw, why do you think they hide the recipe?

Like coke is the worst example you could have picked when there is hundreds of coke clones anyways making profits.

Do you think it is wrong that people can make cola without paying royalties?
