Question Miss Thing when people take others art or “idea’s” especially if its done in secret to profit/capitalize on the original “work of art” is that a sort of political statement or tactical method of proliferation to end process? Below is the definition or at least a preclude to “industrial espionage” (it doesn’t say anything about “re-inventing” which is a cuter term or “inspired by” another endearing way to “explain” using others work, and why are so many artists broke but you, Britney Spears, Ke$ha and slew of other prewritten altered types so illustriously Fee-Amos and banking diva disco dollies?
Until 1996 there was no federal statute that explicitly criminalized the theft of commercial trade secrets. Cf. 18 U.S.C. § 1905 (providing, inter alia, misdemeanor sanctions for the unauthorized disclosure of government information, including trade secrets, by a government employee). Federal courts, however, under limited circumstances, did uphold convictions for the interstate transportation of stolen trade secrets or proprietary economic information under 18 U.S.C. § 2314, or for the disclosure of information in violation of a confidential or fiduciary relationship under 18 U.S.C. § 1341 or 1343. Because federal prosecutors sometimes had trouble “shoe-horning” the theft of trade secrets into the above statutes and because of the increased recognition of the increasingly important role that intellectual property plays in the well-being of the American economy, Congress enacted the Economic Espionage Act of 1996, effective October 11, 1996. See Pub. L. No. 104- 294, 110 Stat. 3489. In general, it criminalizes the theft of trade secrets.
