I don't think this was brought up as a way to create products for
profit. It is a way to finance upgrading tools for everyone with the
primary programmer being paid a reasonable hourly wage. Am I reading
this wrong???

Brian, I agree with you. Especially about the 'multiple owners'
part. Having 1 or 2 partners isn't bad, but too many more and Chris
is right about 'the camel.'
But, that being said, I do think it can work out where everyone has
ownership of the code and can do what they want with it outside of
certain boundries.
IMO, I think the developer needs to at least make his hourly wage.
Hopefully, he'll make more with future revenues based on his code.
Overall, the concept of 'selling your idea' first, garnering some
cash support, and then building a product, isn't bad. Outside of
the ownership issues you bring up, and basic issues of trust, there
is room for this concept to work.
best,

Not to make this a debate, but...
What I don't like about the system below (and why I think it
hasn't happened already to any great extent) is:
* Investors will have to put a lot more money up for the developer
to give up ownership of the product to the investors
* Multiple investors "owning" a product and dividing profits is a
pain (and not so lucrative)
Rather, I think it's good to drive down the initial cost (so
people will actually buy in), and allow *someone* to have some
real profit potential, as I don't think a 3rd party Rev product
split too many ways excites anyone just yet.
