Hey @kickstarter It's time to kill the @anonabox - @torproject needs to make a statement disowning this project too.

I've got a pile of money and an idea... let's make a mint by stealing peoples ideas.....

"Well, we have enough capital to do anything we want. We could have a new board made in the US with a new layout if we wanted. Its ultimately up to all of you, the backers"

It's more than time to boycott this thing.

According to filesharing rules and many people here on HN, you can't "steal" an idea. After all, it's not like a car. The idea is still there to be used by the original owner.

Oh, and I can't forget the other motto in business: "ideas are worthless...execution is everything"

You jest, but its the truth. Your idea is worthless until its in production.

There are no @ tags on HN.

Rocket seems to have made it their business and it seems to work for them ;)

the bigger problem is they failed to execute, not that they "stole" an idea. if every no-totally-original idea were not allowed to be executed, then we could be still in the bronze age or something.
