To my understanding, there's been problems in the past with people soliciting feedback for ideas here, and some overseas shops seizing the idea and throwing more resources at it quicker and either being quicker to market or with more features functioning. Ideas aren't always cheap, but public ones are not not cheap, they're free.

Where have you read reports about this happening?
