People copy success, not ideas from random people they meet at parties. It's really that simple. Once your idea turns into a success (that's a lot of work), then people will start wanting to copy you.

I can assure you no one wanted to copy Pinterest when it was just an idea. Most people think your idea is bad, they are just too polite to tell you.
