And your argument about tapping a trillions of times, which takes longer and require more labor? Mining minerals, stocking weapons, and attempting to be more competitive than 1-4 other businesses or writing a short, 100- word entry to a newspaper where everyone has to buy it for 50 dollars from that store or else they're SOL?

and I think it's a little extreme to say "God help the rest of the future businesses" just because a monopolized, simple job isn't being paid.

It's a design contest not a "let's all submit the same thing and hope we get lucky" contest. As far as not getting paid, I think that's kind of silly...they should atleast get something.
