Ah yes, the perennial story of the lone inventor or two, with a world changing invention, who has their idea stolen by a big company.
Did it ever occur to you that the idea of syncing video or audio playback across devices or people is not a new idea and is continually reinvented?
I've been on the net since '86, and every brilliant idea I had in secret, I was surprised to learn had been thought of by others too.
The currency of the startup economy isn't ideas, it's execution. If a big company really valued a startup's tech, they'd acqui-hire for the inventors or the patents. Big companies generally want to hire people, not ideas.
