Your Ideas Aren’t Getting Stolen, Trust Me

Published 2026-01-19 07-50

Summary

When you think ideas get stolen, you’re chasing ghosts. Copyright guards what you build, not brain sparks. Agreements and docs do the heavy lifting where law can’t.

The story

You chase that killer app idea like a rare loot drop,

but raw concepts float free, no one’s got ’em on lock.

Copyright snags scripts, designs, the stuff that you cooked up,

not the spark that lit the fire in your noggin markup.

🟢 Busting the Big IP Myth

I used to sweat bullets, picturing bozos swiping my brain burps. Turns out, Section 102[b] says ideas? Unprotectable. Like trying to copyright “a game where you gank dragons.” Goofy, right?

What I *did* build? Creative Robot. Not some clanky tin can, but an AI sidekick that turns fuzzy thoughts into code and plans you *can* defend. First month? On me. Because leveling up shouldn’t cost your firstborn.

🟢 The Real Power-Up

Agreements flex where copyright flops. Share with a “pay me if you use it” handshake [written best], and boom: contract muscle. Document your dev journey. Patents for inventions. Trade secrets for the secret sauce.

Imagine pouring sweat into *your* expression. Feels safer? I wonder what happens when you protect what counts.

Eyes on the prize, creator. Full thoughts at “Can ideas be stolen?” Let’s build unbreakable. Yayz!
