will cause you economic damage represents one possible consequence, the one giving you harms monetarily. That's not all there is to it. It's way more basic. Even with a string of words, like 17 syllables, a haiku, it's all words that have existed for hundreds of years, but a unique haiku is
totally intellectual property even if no one prints it on blocks and throws em at you to do damage!

Oh well.
