[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1021565, member: 1521"] The problem is that it hurts all of us in the long run. Innovations need to viable, or they don't see the light of day and we no longer get them. For instance; Someone wants to bring a new widget to reloaders. They risk resources(including their personal time) for R&D. Then with a few sold, the product picks up some steam, and things are looking good. Others with ideas are more motivated to get em out there. Then it happens, as it is more often these days,, somebody decides to undermine the innovator either to save a buck or divide the market(greed over ethics). Now things fall apart for the guy who went the extra mile for us. Others with ideas then see it plain as day. They have no choice but to consider this -before going forward with any R&D or bringing anything to market. This is bad for us. I've personnally shelved several innovations that YOU need(whether you know it or not) because of this. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. Those who remember ethics understand what I'm saying. But even with no awareness of ethics, or customer loyalty, you should be able to recognize economics for it's double edge. OP wants Whidden's efforts, but wants to work around paying for Whidden's efforts. It's not in Whidden's best interest, nor OURs, to assist with this. It's not the right thing to do [/QUOTE]
