I’ve had an idea for a marketplace for a while now. I’ve just done some research and found that this concept is already being done in the US but they don’t accept users from other countries to participate.

I’m in Canada and have talked to many people about their need and desire for this type of marketplace.

If I start this marketplace in Canada for Canadian consumers, is this just “stealing” their idea? I have some tweaks to make it better than it is currently being done but I worry that it is too close to their current business model.

Am I setting myself up for legal action if my website takes off?
