Can't own an idea, so you can't steal one. Can't steal something that isn't property. </div></div>
But you can show a company that it's business model is bullshit, by refusing to buy their products.
That's what this topic has been about. Supporting the Hide vendors that had their designs stolen from Midway. Yes, Midway did do it, if not then, and if a beanbag is so simple to make then why can't they come up with their own concept? The simple answer is laziness, and corporate greed. Yes, there is really no legal recourse because of a lack of a legal method of patent, but the option to show that it was a flawed idea is available to the consumer who has this knowledge available to them.
There is way too much talk of capitalism and communism, and global economics.
It's simple dirty business, and how many people are going to want to sell their products now through midway without suspicion whispering in their ear, of a possible backstab? </div></div>
Sure you can. Talk all the trash you want. I will still be happy to buy things from Midway when they have the lowest price. I am in the market for a rear bag, and I will probably buy it from a Hide vendor because I want the quality.
There's room in the market for cheap knockoffs and good stuff. These companies don't need their fanboys to make a big debate about it.
But one thing should be pointed out: nobody in this country can own an idea. And anyone who suggests that is so should be put in their place. An idea is not a piece of property.
