AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a request for legal advice regarding international internet law, with an emphasis on the need for confidentiality. The original poster seeks guidance on potential legal barriers related to a project involving physics but is hesitant to share details publicly. Responses highlight the importance of consulting a qualified attorney for legal matters rather than relying on forum members for advice. Participants caution against accepting legal guidance from unknown sources online and recommend contacting local or national bar associations for professional help. Additionally, there is a light-hearted mention of a "Doomsday Device," suggesting that once a design is publicly demonstrated, concerns about privacy may diminish.

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.
