What Legal Precautions Should I Take Before Sharing My Invention Online?

In summary, the speaker is looking for someone familiar with international laws on the internet to privately message them about an idea they have. They trust the community on this forum but are unable to discuss their problem openly. They have been advised to seek legal advice from a professional and not to trust advice from unknown individuals on the internet. They also mention a potential concern regarding a "Doomsday Device."

I would like someone on this forum who is familiar with law on the internet (international) to please PM me. I have an idea, but need to know what walls I should put up beforehand.

Thanks.

You're going to have to be more specific.

Sorry, I can't out in the open.

I'd go the the Law Forums, but you guys are the only ones I trust. My problem does concern Physics, of sorts.

A forum isn't the place to go. I am familiar with a lot of international and e-commerce "laws", but not in a position to give legal advice. If you need true confidentiality you are going to have to consult (and retain) a real attorney. You can inquire about legal specialties through the American Bar Asssociation, or a local Bar. If you are not in the US, search on something similar in your country. I would NOT accept legal advice from someone unknown over the internet, even if they got to you through this forum. PF cannot validate every member.

If it's still that Doomsday Device, don't worry about privacy. Once you demonstrate it, nobody will steal your design.

What should be done if there are no attorneys present in response to this question?
