Always Use Protection! – Submitting Your Ideas Without Getting Ripped Off

With Paul I. Menes, Esq.

Just about everyone at one time or another has come up with an idea for a TV show, product or service. They are aware of how much money can be made in such endeavors, figure their ideas are as good as anyone else’s, if not better, and decide to take a shot at making their dreams of fame and fortune a reality. But, there are great dangers to you and your submission unless you know the protections that are available and how to use them. Without protection, the consequences can be life altering and very expensive. One can contract the dreaded STD — Submission Theft Disorder. This is characterized by such symptoms as: seeing your idea appear on store shelves, on television or in movie theaters; not seeing any money, credit or attribution for your idea being brought to the masses. Avoid STDs and attend this workshop! A lot can be done to protect your idea before and during submission, avoiding STD and the burning feeling of seeing someone else take and benefit from your brilliance, forethought, hard work and creativity.
