It's not the cloning part that you should worry about, but the acquiring customers part. How will you communicate your service to their customers, and to new ones?

Good idea - similar to this reply - https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=15488168

Creating a GTM strategy and establishing your competitive edge are crucial. It may be interesting and work to improve even the original service. If the cloned company has little competition, perhaps they may not be thinking as much about the influence of competition.
