All works are essentially based upon other peoples works. Your work is most certainly derivative from many other works, some conscious and others subconscious. The only thing allowing you to have a monopoly on your particular idea at all is society. In exchange society requires you to give it back eventually. If you want to keep it from other people forever, it is simple - don't play it for other people.
