The telephone is one thing, but the story was about email. Each day my
Google news alerts sends me at least one story about the theft of
intellectual property/trade secrets. Corporate espionage is a big problem,
no let me restate that, it is a HUGE problem for companies around the world.

Yesterday one of the US cable news stories did a story on laid off
employees. Their guest made the comment that many employees believe that
they have the right to take corporate information with them because they
developed it or worked on it.

corporations would be remiss if they didn't employ a variety of tools to
detect the loss of IP.
