   Has anyone gave any thought to how we can protect our,   
   intellectual property when we post to this group or other   
   forems?   
      
      
   Most of us have came up with new ideas, projects and new   
   ways to do things, and posted them here in the past for others   
   to use. Most of us have creativity and want to share it with others   
   who use a Atari Computer or emulator.   
      
   But I don't want some company making a fortune off my ideas, unless   
   I get my part of the fortune. Working to make someone else rich   
   while getting nothing in return is not the correct way to do things.   
      
   You might want to check out the following before posting that next   
   idea, invention or etc.

   fight-patent-trolls/   
      
   I've just recently started looking at how big this problem can be.   
   I'd like to here from anyone who has more knowledge on this and   
   how we can best protect what we post.
