It's just another document you have to use as evidence if you ever have to take somebody to court. It is still not legal to take somebody else's idea and use it as your own under any circumstances. It comes down to how much precaution you want to take and the the steps you're prepared to follow if somebody ever decides to actually take your idea. That is why you are supposed to record and catalog every disclosure about your story you have with people, so that there is documented evidence that they had previous knowledge of your story.
