even corporations have their employees sign that whatever the employees come up with is part of the corporations intellectual property.
the guys working for serato too come up with ideas but don't get no royalties so why should some person on the net?
if you feel you have something ground breaking it's better to set up your own software.
besides, some of these software companies are so slow in implementing features that it's almost pointless sharing your ideas with them.
Even though this is true, that is in its nature a different relationship. Employees are working on company time and being compensated for time spent at work, therefore the product of that work, whether tangible or intellectual, are paid for and belong to the company by virtue of the fact that the individual is under the company's employ.
That wouldn't apply to DJMetro if he's not a Serato employee... if he invented a technology that could be licensed and incorporated into SeratoDJ, then he would be subject to collecting licensing fees.
With that being said, DJMetro... if your idea is so good, you should develop it yourself, patent it, and be able to show it off as a proof of concept. If it's good enough, maybe DVS developers will be willing to pay you license the technology. This happened with zPlane, Ms Pinky, and others.
