The thing that confuses me about all this is that an NDA is a non DISCLOSURE agreement, not a non COMPETE agreement.

Therefore and NDA is pretty worthless when it's at the 'idea's stage. Most people seem to think it will prevent you telling anyone about it AND copying it. Or am I missing something?



If you built the idea for yourself, you'd have a hard time launching it on the web without disclosing the idea to someone (i.e. any prospective customer).
