Why Having Your Idea Stolen Can Be A Good Thing
If your ideas are being copied and used for profit without your consent, that's a good sign. Your idea is working!
Don’t take offense; not many people get the chance to have their ideas stolen.
Bill Gates used to say, "If China were to copy anybody, it'd better be Microsoft."
I see that your idea is like your baby, and you don’t want anyone to damage it.
But if you're in the early stages of building your brand and idea, you should let people know it, let them talk about it, and allow them to try and make it even more viral.
Remember, having an idea is one thing, executing it is another. You should focus more on sharing your idea than protecting it. Get the idea out there and offer it to as many people as possible. Even have your competitors deliver the idea as well.
Then, worry about copyrights later.
Once you have your idea, get it to market quickly and build a community around it.
Every once in a while, you will have that spark of inspiration in your mind.
Make it happen!
