quote I do think there is a gray area, though - if there is no protection for original work, it sucks for the company that spends five years developing something...and then has another company, one that sat on the sidelines, effectively steal it and sell it for cheaper (either directly or somply out of not needing to recoup five years of investment.) endquote
