Outsourcing as opportunity

There are dozens of sites - here, here, here, and many more - run by disgruntled American workers talking about how outsourcing destroyed their lives, killed their dreams, how to deal with unemployment, etc. Every site talks about how the next job they found paid half their old wages. One site even has a guide on what you can do if you're laid off. This guide says things like "Meet your ward representative", "Put up posters against outsourcing in malls", and suchlike.
I would like to venture another, more practical, suggestion based on personal experience. A couple of years back, I worked on a small project for an American company. Perhaps calling it a company would be a misnomer, because it consisted of just one employee - a techie who was using some portion of his savings to try out an idea. Let me call him D. He got two friends to do the sales work, and he hired our outsourcee company to do the entire product creation. We were about 6 people, 4 in development, and 2 in QA. D came to a profit sharing agreement with our company - once we developed the product, if he is able to sell it, we receive a part of the profits. In return, while actually creating the product, we work for a very low amount.
The work went on for some months, while D and his friends looked around for potential customers. Eventually, our work was done, we had a working prototype in place, and the 'project', as far as our company was concerned, was done. The team went on to do other projects. D now has a working, demonstrable, prototype of his project idea which he got for next to free. If he finds a customer, our company will get a portion of the profits.
If D had tried to start up a garage company in the US to implement his idea, he would have had to find a bunch of geeks willing to work for free - because he didnt have the money to pay them. Alternately, he would've had to work for years to write the prototype himself. This way, in a matter of months he had a prototype ready, while he was free to explore the market.
It probably takes some personal contacts or hard marketing to get an outsourcee company to agree to a deal like this. But if you can get through that stage, you can get your product idea implemented for real cheap - by the same company, maybe, who took your job. Everything that worked against you when you were an employee - cheap labour, excellent English, IIT-grads, Fast learners - now helps you when you're the brain behind a product idea.
Every techie, I am sure, has some viable product ideas. Outsourcing provides her the means of getting from idea to product cheaply. This has been proven again and again - your boss, who laid you off, has put his faith in the same technique. What stops you from starting up your own firm now?
