TYPICALLY these items are distributed on the condition of agreeing to a
Non-disclosure Agreement. An NDA usually requires one to be totally silent
about any information revealed about the product it protects.

Violation of intellectual property is symptomatic of a more general decline
in integrity in modern culture.

Also, the Intellectual Property legal professionals in the hi-tech business
have done an absolutely abysmal job of protecting their clients property.
The showbiz IP lawyers know moves the hi-tech IP lawyers never even dreamed
of.  And their clients enjoy a far greater return on their intellectual
property.
