The problem isn't lack of buyers.
National intelligence agencies spend billions per year buying information. Corporate espionage groups spend immense amounts to get access to information. Lots of buyers exist for information about businesses.
The problem is the sellers. The businesses don't want you to have it. And back to my original point, if the businesses didn't care, they'd just be giving this information away for free. Them refusing to sell it actually makes it worth more on the market, which you'll know if you're familiar with market dynamics.
- coralreef 11y agoSure, but data isn't an idea. Information is not an idea. Ideas are unproven and are mostly intangible. Do you have any examples of actual, real ideas that were sold or bought as is, at any time in the history of mankind? Any kind of idea that was purchased and turned out to be profitable? If the problem isn't lack of buyers, than why haven't we come across a single person who makes a living purely by selling ideas?
