I see the US IT scene like a proper hunt where Coders go out there in the wilderness and risk all to come back with some prey, this prey the cloners steal back at no risk behind your back when your huting and sell it back to you. But by then its not fresh and rotting.<p>This is extreme but I feel this with the Samwer Brothers in Germany. They copy great innovative businesses were US companies took mega risk and managed to emerge with a great new product, that they copy and with some tricks try and sell back.<p>I think what Air BnB did was the best way of showing the 3 Brothers and the community how not to get crunched by them.<p>This is a reponse to what i happening in Groupon in Germany , the foundation of Groupon. This could cause the whole structure of groupon issues.<p>http://venturevillage.eu/leaked-groupon-emails-slavedriver
