Thanks for the advice but I don't have a very big budget for this idea at the momment. It may not make a lot of money at first but I need to protect myself from larger companies with bigger budgets from seeing my idea, copying it, making it better, and marketing the hell out of it which knocks me down the ladder.

For example. Let's say I was making a site that stores a public database of all the airlines in the world, their flights, delays, etc and lets users search the database by all methods to pull up flight information. Let's say there were no other sites that did this. I create the site and start marketing it, I don't want a big boy to come along and see this idea is profitable and make his own site with a bigger marketing budget.

Thats just a broad example that the airplane in the G3X ad above me made me come up with.

Sorry if this is a bad example.
