- skissane 8y agoIANAL, but criminal laws around trade secrets (e.g. in the US, the Economic Espionage Act of 1996), computer system misuse (like the US CFAA), criminal copyright infringement, etc., can be used to effectively criminalise NDA violations. Breaking an NDA is not itself a crime but the act of breaking the NDA might violate criminal laws, and the existence of the NDA might even be used to establish certain elements of those criminal offences.
