I am sorry.. i cant read the rest of what you said, as you started off by violating the most elementary, bedrock principal of copyright law. You cant copyright an idea, the "idea/expression dichotomy." You seem to have put a lot of thought into this, yet refuse to listen/try to understand what the law truly states.
You seem more interested in climbing up on a soapbox
than listening to people trying to educate you on specific points you have confused.
An idea can only be protected by a patent. A design by either a patent or trade dress.
