I have an idea that I think is awesome, but I researched, called some people, found out I need a lawyer, patent, etc., and at the very least and to just get started I will need over $20K. I found a site called kickstarter, but when I signed up part of the terms stated that there is no protection for the privacy of my invention once it is posted. My question is...can I provide myself protection other than a patent before putting my idea out for everyone to see, or copy before I ever even get it off the ground? Also, has anyone had experience using the site and what are your thoughts?
