People who steal thoughts and ideas that come from organized minds are no different that someone who goes in to someones house and steals the houdeholders property. Remember when these cases are prosecuted, and an economic value is placed on the loss, the amount of the loss is deducted from the the income of the the company,and the court costs as well are deducted from the taxes of the company, so if you think you are hurting the company, you are really hurting everyone its unAMERICAN. Get a job that contributes not one that takes away.
