Hi Anthony

There really is nothing new in this world.

Most things have already been done, it is just a question of when!

The best thing to do is to act on what you are working on before someone else does!

There was an individual I worked with who thought anything he thought of was his idea.

I remember an instance when I had thought about something which was in regards to training that it would be nice to send our operators to the facility that made our equipment.

This idea of mine also had been thought of by other operators before me, who had retired.

I submitted the idea on a written card, I and some other operators were granted to go to this facility.

The person I mentioned above, who thought all ideas were his was mad. He went into the boss and complained that this was his idea, even though it really was not. The reply back to him from the boss was this, if it was your idea, then why did you not submit it!

In another word, if this idea is very important than act upon it before it becomes lost!

Have a great weekend!

At least it is a sign of a good idea...

From a legal standpoint, you can’t do much if they’ve reworded it. Ideas are not Copyright protected, only words.

If they use your exact words, then you have some options. First thing to do is serve a DMCA takedown notice to the offending blog, their host, and possibly email platform if applicable.

Copyright infringement, words not ideas, is a big deal! I learned this the hard way - my business partner unbeknownst to me stole the exact email sequence for webinars from our main competitor, not once, twice! We’re now in the midst of a lawsuit and I’ve left that partner and everything I honestly slaved over to build, to start over myself.

I guess there is nothing much I can do about it. yes it sucks.
even on youtube, people copying each other.

I move on and come up with another great idea and keep moving forward
