“If everyone in town comes to my plant and takes a free sample of what I make, I’ll go bankrupt. But if everyone in the world takes a free sample of one of my ideas (or at least one of my good ones), we’ll all get richer….Ideas can’t be stolen, because ideas don’t get smaller when they’re shared, they get bigger.”
