Speaking as a developer: I like to build things that are successful and I like building things for passionate people. I'm not a thief, I'm a developer. I love bringing ideas to reality. The people who are out there making money are doing so because they executed their ideas or helped to execute ideas with someone else. They aren't just sitting around waiting for the next person to screw over, they have better things to do: like work on things. Of course: there are always malicious people out there, but I would be extremely surprised if they were in the majority in this particular example. Of all of the startups that get featured here, even the multi-million dollar ones, how many times have you heard of someone genuinely "stealing" someone's idea? I mean to the point that someone was put into financial hardship without a way to reconcile? I can only think of a couple off the top of my head, and frankly: the events and legal BS surrounding them are so far above and beyond anything I'd ever want to do in my life. I have a feeling that I'm not alone in that sentiment amongst a profession of reasonably rational and intelligent individuals.
