I missed the part about intended commercial gain. Where did that come from? I certainly didn't have to pay anything for it. And while an explicit part of IP is the ability to withhold publication, I'm not sure that stealing that ability is on the same level as grabbing and running off with some jewelry. Now give that grocery list and the ink on it back to your employer, thief! :-O

The ironic thing is, I never would have noticed it had Mr. Rogers not publicly pointed it out.

I know! Let's all have pointers... "links" to published material! It could go anywhere! We could have a.. a World Wide Web! Yeah, wouldn't that be cool! But, sadly, where is the profit in not withholding information? Never mind.
