The right to compensation for your idea turned product depends on the legal protections available in your jurisdiction. In many cases, intellectual property laws such as patents, copyrights, or trademarks may apply, granting you exclusive rights to your creation for a certain period. If someone uses your product without your permission, they may be infringing on your rights and you may have legal recourse to seek compensation. Regarding the ethics of pirating software, music, and movies, it is generally considered unethical. Piracy involves using or distributing copyrighted material without the permission of the copyright holder, which is illegal and can harm creators financially. It's important to respect intellectual property rights and support creators by obtaining content through legal means.
