        These cases are very scary. Unless the case is about specific theft of software or intellectual property, I could see the point. However, more and more tech companies are moving forward with these suits as if to say they own the minds of their engineers and they are not free to go forward and take a better job for a better offer. Its disgusting, and as technical professionals we should all be very concerned about this. The work I do for my company belongs to them, but my mind belongs to me and so do my skills and I can sell them to the highest bidder. I think this point gets lost in the discussion sometimes.
