I never said that. I am not the person you were originally responding to. But I will respond to this assertion:

>Investors aren't going to give you money if creation is expensive, and copying is zero cost.

Yes, they will. The trick is to make each copy generate you money in some other way. Additionally sometimes it isn't even directly about the money -- if the good becomes public and simultaneously brings up the value of all of their other investments, then the amount of copying really doesn't matter.
