This is fortunate, because you, for example, are not the first person to have the idea that copying ideas is bad. Somebody else had that original idea long ago. But because you (probably) did not copy their expression of that idea, you are (probably) not liable for copyright infringement.

The copyright has expired long ago, and is now in the public domain. This only happened because people in the past realised it was a bad idea to stop all copying.
