Trust is a fantastic thing, but this business is cut throat.

It was not meant to offend you, as I applaud open minded people. I just want to know what is preventing you from taking everyone's money making ideas into account, choosing a couple to pursue, and then cutting out the person who's idea it was in the first place. That's all.

Again, it is not intended to offend you but rather a very genuine concern..and I think a fair concern at that. You don't have to answer it publicly, but what I am asking publicly is there some kind of protection for all the people whom have pitched you ideas to develop.
