So this is sort of like someone marketing your idea internationally without your blessing, and then coming to see you once they have traction and saying "hey you can spend money and do this yourself, and go up against us, or you can spend money to buy up what we've done and benefit from our experience and traction and hit the ground running"..

I see the downside, being forced into making a deal that maybe isn't on your terms, but if the price is right (versus doing it yourself - internationalization isn't that obvious) then I wonder if some companies just do it gladly (the acquisition)..
