It's the way of the world. Nikolai Tesla, who invented the Tesla coil, invented thousands of other things during his life. For about 90% of them, he got no money. For about 60%, no recognition. Many of the 'famous' inventors who have existed just took ideas from someone else who had already developed them. Isaac Newton, for all his genius, merely took ideas that were hundreds of years old a step further.
Plagiarism is the name of the game. It's only in school, and in places where you can't defend it, that it's illegal.
