how do I make use of my invention to make money if some rich mass manufacturing company can come and simply copy my design?
You mean how do you get a monopoly on an idea so you can be another piece of shit taking advantage of morons who don't know any better? I'm sure the useful idiots would be glad to give you tips on how to fuck them over so they can live vicariously through you while working service jobs. Watch.
Anyone who honestly believes that necessary work wouldn’t get done without copyright and patent laws is a moron going to bat for people richer than him. It’s unfortunately the default state for most of us at this point.
If you can't protect your own ideas, you shouldn't have billions of dollars of taxpayer resources to protect them for you.
All the resources wasted enforcing copyright and patent laws, which themselves exist solely to increase the price useful idiots have to pay, could be spent doing anything else that is actually beneficial for us.

When you cut everyone out of the conversation who wants to call men men and women women, it creates an opportunity for politicians cater to those people.
Schnauss doesn't rewrite the rules and has even gone on record as saying that the techniques used by classical composers for traditional instruments translate very well to making music with electronics. Instead of expecting something that tries to set itself apart as much as possible from what came before, I'm referring to artists that build upon the ideas of the past.
Another artist who you've probably never heard of that fits this bill is William Orbit. He's already bigger than Schnauss and way more recognized because of his collaborations. I guarantee if you haven't heard of him, you've heard a song he's collaborated on.
Listen to some of his solo stuff: Hello Waveforms, My Oracle Lives Uptown, Strange Cargo 5. He actually 'recently' released a new album called The Painter and I highly recommend it. It's the same concept as with Schnauss. They don't ignore what came before; they learn from and integrate it into something more.
I think the longevity of the Beatles compared to Elvis coincides with how much younger they are. Sure, they're not "that much younger," but the difference seems to linearly relate to their staying power; I'd expect the Beatles to be as relevant as Elvis is now in a few years.
That's not to say there's no chance for a brief resurgence of any of their music. Look at how fusion from the 80s made a comeback a few years ago. It didn't lead or change the direction music is going, but people could still find value in it after the "been there, done that" phase has passed.
Where are the Western outlets reporting on this?
It's almost like not reporting on news that makes your opposition look good is a part of how propaganda works...
