Sol-Ratcht Saporro Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 This one was a toughie for me when I first answered it and now, still thinking about it. It still is. Altough I believe its worse to have your ideas stolen. Because you can't replace an idea like you can a physical object. Whoever thought of that question was pretty deep, IMO. If you didn't know, EVC (Everyone Votes Channel) Now, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-eyed Vulpine Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 To have your things stolen. I usually don't worry about it when someone uses an idea I have, but I tend to be more aggressive toward the theft of physical property. Unfortunately, I'm quite materialistic.

Scott_Wolf Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 It depends on how awesome the idea is, and I can't remember the last time I came up with something so awesome that I've savagely protected it from other people. So right now stealing my possessions is what I'll rip your throat out for. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeWalker Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I like my stuff, but ideas can hurt you even more. Things can be replaced; best case scenario, you can even prove it was yours and have punishment levied upon the offender. But with ideas... it's often not possible to prove who had the idea first.

Mr. Krystal Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Ideas can't be stolen, only copied. If someone uses your idea, you still have it. This is different from things, objects that have mass and/or energy. Thus, I vote that having a thing stolen is worse, because you no-longer have it.

Guest Chiro-Chan Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 My ideas. Mostly because someone HAS been stealing my ideas for my fanfiction for theirs. (long story) And also because you can just replace material objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
