I think Fb/Winklevosses situation is an outlier, very unlikely to happen to you. I don't know the size of outsourcing market, but its probably pretty big and as far as I can tell there isn't overwhelming evidence that outsourcing means someone else will steal your idea and get rich off it.

Besides how much did they get from from the lawsuit anyway?

P.S. I freelance and I'm glad to sign a NDA before starting, not that I need one to stop me from stealing their ideas. First I don't really care. Ideas are great, but they need lot of work to make it happen. Two, my projects list (like almost any other programmer's) is full of stuff I'd try if I had 36 hours in a day and needed no sleep.
