Re: Stealing data

What went wrong?

I'm a clueless end user, just interested

Let's present you with a plausible scenario.

Suppose my company manufacture some military-grade CPU's/hardware/aeroplanes/whatever and said documentation is on GSuite without any audit, then I can just download what I want, walk over to the enemy and sell it to them.

A court of law will toss the evidence as there's absolutely no audit trial (they can't prove beyond any reasonable doubt that it was I who copied the data) and I won't get any free porridge.

Ergo the same for IP theft, especially when it involves certain processes, methods etc that was researched at high expense in an R&D lab...
