Crowd Sourcing, A Bad Idea

Crowd Sourcing is a bad idea and a fad that will soon go away (I hope).

By participating in crowd sourcing you;
Turn your job into a non-paying hobby.
Expose yourself to liability.
Risk losing your liability insurance.
Lower the value of work performed by engineers & designers.

I have questions about Product Liability Insurance, Risk Management, & Engineering Calcs for crowd sourcing projects, i.e. there isn’t any.

The people promoting crowd sourcing projects “Don’t even know what they don’t know” about Product Liability Insurance, Risk Management, Intellectual Property, Patents, R & D, Testing, Design History, Factors Of Safety, Engineering Calcs, etc.

It is my hope this appendage of the cloud goes away quickly to. The latest buzzword effort to sell the cloud to people who don't want to go there by selling to their bosses instead. So now you have dozens of participants and nothing gets done. What a deal!
