Taking "ideal" to mean when Christ returns to rule on earth... No more  
patents, copyrights, or property disputes. No more nonsense about  
intellectual property. Everything belongs to our God. And is granted to  
us at His pleasure.

But more importantly, He provides shelter (or takes away the need for  
shelter) and sustenance. "Owning" an idea has no value when your food  
is given to you every day.
