When I worked in Japan, we did a shared project with an extremely large Japanese corporation. Because we shared source code with them and knew about their business plans, I was made to understand that if I were negligent (i.e. let my laptop get stolen on a train or something) and allowed the company secrets to be stolen, I could face huge fines and even jail time. This was only 5 years ago.
