content: Just having an idea doesn't mean shit. Anyone could come up with an idea: like why don't you have a social network designed for dogs, for example. It's meaningless. You can't steal an idea because it simply isn't something that exists outside of your imagination. At least if you write a book or come up with a better mouse trap then that is a thing that exists. That is the law isn't designed to protect your idea or concept of a thing but rather an actual thing that exists in the real world. If the former was the actual case then you would be able to sue someone claiming you had a dream about a certain product that existed, which is absurd since there's no possible way they would have been able to know that, to give an example. And don't even get me started on copyright or patent law: if you think that those exist to protect the rights of individuals rather than corporations at this stage then you're truly living in la la land.
