But you have said that you are copying his idea on this thread so I would tread lightly if I was you, plus:
Yes, I know someone will get that reference
I guess you don't really understand what qualifies as copying. I can say all I want I am going to copy google's idea of a search engine or copy bitcointalk.org and create a bitcoin forum but no matter what if I write all my source code and aren't stealing anything, then there is nothing to sue about.
Once again, do you think all these dice casinos popping up are someones orignal idea? No, they saw a company like just-dice and said oh that's a good idea I want to do that and did it. There is nothing just-dice can do unless they stole their source code.
But you are copying an idea which has a copyright, it's like if I manufacture a phone that looks like an iPhone I can get sued, no one will give a fuck when I'll say "but all those Chinese companies are copying iphones!".
Now granted you will probably either run out of money or fail to pitch your copycat idea, but if you don't your white ass will be wide open for litigation.
This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Ask the winki twins how copying there idea worked out for them. Last time i checked zuckerburg is still on the forbes list. the Owner of the site is broke & owes people money & you think he would sue someone. Makes no sense that he'd sue someone & reviel his identity. hed end up getting charged for fraud.
