Yeah aside from the hacking there are potential copyright issues if he’s digging too deep in reverse engineering the competitor’s app.

- Aachen 5y agoAlso when none of it ever leaves their own computer? It seemed to me like they were poking around for curiosity, not to publish any dirty laundry substantial enough to be a reverse engineering or copyright issue.
- tsimionescu 5y agoYes, also then. If company A's app and company B's app happen to have some code in common, but one of company A's employees is found to have reverse engineered company B's app, then company B has a very nice case for suing company A for copyright violations. Now, if you do it and no one finds out, that's one thing. But telling your manager (worse case, in an email!) becomes a potential liability, as the company has to keep such records and provide them to the other party in case of a suit.
