Ok, so people are not paying for the service of this person creating the driver when "copying a number". A driver is not a number. A piece of software is not a number.

Software doesn't just magically come into being. It takes effort and work to craft in just the right way. If it were just a number, you'd never need to hire programmers for anything. Just make a little program that makes files full of random numbers until eventually one runs and is Word, or Windows, or Linux. That's not how it works, because it's not just a number.

I'm curious, what exactly do you do for a living? Perhaps if I knew that I could explain this in a way you can understand.
