"My name is John and I write software", what a scumbag I am that I'm not happy with the idea of people saying that it's OK to steal my ideas because it's difficult to protect them.

I'm curious...how are ppl stealing your ideas? Has your source code been stolen?
I understand how piracy CAN effect developers, but how does it effect the actual coding team. Weren't you already paid by salary/wage or contract?

OR
Are you on some sort of bizzare contract where you are only paid per licence sold?

It's a shame stupidity isn't painful.
