If recipes were copyrightable, then we couldn't sell anything on earth, because someone copyrighted it someday somewhere in the world. Recipes itself aren't creative work nor expressions of human thoughts, because everyone interprets (an expression) the recipe their way and is vastly different product. Writing a recipe is easy, there is no creativity needed either. I could write 1 million recipes and now they are mine and no one can use them if I don't allow? It does not depend which of the recipes make sense. See why this analogy does not hold up to other creative work which involves at least a little bit of creativity, such as characters or software code.

I didn't just decide to defend copyright, I just list why its needed and what positive effects it has. You just dismiss all the good reasons to have Copyright. Just ignore those parts if you got defeated and can't argue anymore. So should I stop discussing with people who disagree with me too? I think you don't even understand Copyright, as your obsession with the recipe example demonstrates.
