I hope the moronic opinions made by many here is not indicative of their countries average intelligence. It is obvious nobody cared to read the article-
Set aside the fact it is illegal what these students did- there is some sort of moral , intellectual, integrity shortage it seems among many here.
I'm more perturbed to read this from Indians. Chinese have no integrity as it has been obvious to many tech companies for decades BUT Indians? where many tech companies hire India's IT talent and trust them with sensitive data, to cheer this illegal behavior is shameful!
what is going to happen is companies will refuse to hire such people where maintaining signed Non compete and disclosure documents mean nothing to them.
all I wish upon each and everyone of you who cheer the students is that some day - you discover an awesome new product or tech and someone comes and steals it away from you and you are left with loss of real income
. come up with an invention or idea and somebody steals it whooo...or you co worker steals an idea from you and lose your job ... that would be ultimate justice!
