Adam,
Geez, this is beginning to read like a great mystery novel ! Common sense
would tell us that you can expect Drummond to go for a deep pocket if there
is one. And there in lies the real reason anyone ever gets sued. Are you a
Microsoft of yesterday(may not be worth much today)? Are you going to make
any money off of giving out the info. ? My take would be that since you have
interpreted Drummond's idea which you got from someone who paid for his
course; you in effect have read a yardsale book and derived a stroke of
genius which you have now interpreted to your liking. Want to be safe? Send
Drummond a note telling him what you have done and are planning to do and
unless he responds to the negative within a certain period of time you will
share the ideas with some friends. We are your friends aren't we? My guess
is that Drummond being a logically minded capitalist will be tickled that
there is a new found interest in his work and will be on the phone to his
publisher! Okay, there you have the next chapter to your question. I'll
politely step down from my crate and give someone else a chance at this
point!
