exactly, I think that sooner or later the frauds will be found out in these companies.
For your remarks about the ideas, I think that the blockchain itself and steemit can be interesting solutions to protect the author of ideas: if it is published first on the blockchain, it can´t be faked and it will prove that you were the first to have the idea.

The blockchain is good for what it is, a general ledger of events, however, without laws wrapped around it, it will be meaningless. There was a thought provoking short post on this site about contracts and the blockchain.

They are also on steemit: @thehutchreport

Basically saying we are still going to need some robust legal structures built up around this.

Interesting! Thanks for the link I will check it out!
