Hmm... sounds a lot like "Lobster Bucket" by The Aquabats. Break out your napster accounts an check it out. Possible new theme.

But back on track, I dont know quite where to stand with this topic. It's touchy. I think Colleen had some great points, as well as Jessica and others.

For me I'm all for sharing ideas and credit. Why? Because I beleive in my ability to produce new ones and go on to other things. I know that I can not produce everything that is in my head by myself and that some things I just have to let go of.

There are a ton of FIRST ideas I would love to see out there, but ya know what? I havent shared most of them because I am still afraid of someone going out and doing them. But the thing I think I am afraid of mostly is thier output not being what my vision is.

I would like to compare mine and everyone elses fears to Dean and IT. We dont want our ideas stolen, yet we want everyone to know about them. Or something. It's early, I'm at work, and I've lost that point. Oh, and Im not putting our ideas on the same level.

Perhaps there needs to be a FIRST intellectual property page. Somewhere like delphion.com for us to share our ideas, but have the original credits go to the originators. Some form of copyrighting without so much legal mumbo jumbo.

We already have SharingFIRST. Perhaps we could make that it. Perhaps we need a whole new website. If no one jumps on it, I just may. Just remember, that gets the FIRST first intellectual property memo! B^P
