They can also, and often do, just steal it any way. You can't go to a cop and file a complaint, you have to have a legal team fight a corporation.
The loophole is that our court systems are a tool for the rich, not the little guy.

It's worth noting the one who has the idea is not often the one who makes the money from it.
Super Soaker guy is more of the exception than the rule.

> so they can legally steal
It doesn't even need to be legal, courts will almost always rule for the richest party.
I used to work for a lawyer who explained judges never want their judgements appealed or criticized and that weighs heavily in their decisions. Fucking the little guy is usually a safe move for a judges career. Piss off McDonalds or Amazon and your career can be over.

Well I think it's more we see the evil and think "I want to do that". We don't dislike evil, we just like to be holding the whip.

I could do it, and by that I mean set something in motion that would lead to the other parties demise after my own.

Chronologically correct, and that's the best kind of correct. Ignore the "technically correct" people. They stole the idea.
