idea pirates?

You do not want to “appropriate the architecture” of someone else’s idea

This was brought before the courts recently and I’m watching as the news gets ready to tell us whether there’s new math in the world of creativity

It’s the old “hey that was my idea”
Was not
Was too
Was not

Say the idea in question becomes a best selling book - and is suggested to become a highly anticipated movie starring tom hanks – my friends what if that idea goes Hollywood without your ass

“Hey that was my idea” becomes a pretty bitter pill

Lawyers smell money like jackals smell blood

I’d be surprised if the money hungry status seeking brutes we call lawyers don’t find a way to push this through

Then they can set their sights on precedent for the inspirations that lead to ideas – wait and see
litigation is like that

anyone who creates for profit or exploitation will be subject to this fiasco

dragged before the courts forced reveal meticulously documented, dated and fully notarized creative process progress as evidence - evidence, my friend, that demonstrates beyond the allegations being made that the idea in question is unquestionably original and completely uninspired by anything other than your own synapses

say you were inspired by a dog playing in the park with a toy it had stolen from a child who had been left unattended while mother was busy flirting with some guy who brings his daughter to the park all the time – let’s say that inspiration became an idea that became a published piece of work

wouldn’t you owe the dog’s owner, the child, the mother, that guy, his daughter, the manufacturer and retailer of the toy, not to mention, the city or municipality where that park is located – what’s more you’d owe your lawyer and all of their lawyers too

your character would be subject to a proverbial two fisted cavity search in an effort by the other side to demonstrate that you are the kind of low life indiscriminate shameless soul that would cull someone else’s idea and not remunerate those responsible for your success - an idea pirate

these people have rights - all they need are lawyers
ho ho sweet pants!!! We don’t want that do we…pure hysteria

wait a moment...let's not get carried away

It’s on the news now

nope...no deal...couldn’t make it stick
we needn't worry...not yet anyway

Still…they made a run at it…greedy rat bastards…full on…cost them 300 000 british pounds to defend these allegations – we’ll have to find out what it cost to wage such an attack – dollars spilling everywhere

jackals are always hungry
this kind of deal is delicious blood pudding for lawyers…

who…at the end of the day…

when the verdict comes down…

are often the only discernable winners – the well fed jackals in suits

no conspiracy here jack – just the facts
show me on the dolly where the fat man touched you
