Re: A question about intellectual property

"Intellectual Property" is a fiction. 
There is no way to prove that any idea or concept you may think up has not 
already been thought of by one or more of the billions of people who live or 
have lived. Perhaps implemented, and maybe even legally 'registered' somewhere. 

So the answer to all of your questions is: 
How good a lawyer can you afford?

Personally, if I publish an idea in a book or on the web, I would hope 
people would use it. If I didn't want anyone to use it, then I wouldn't have 
published it. Sadly, now there are far too many people who think they are 
'entitled' to be paid for restating some concept that, as likely as not, 
was thought up by some ancient greek or whatever. 

As usual, only the lawyers really profit from any of this.
