I never said they can't be hired in this field. What a straw man. We can't use unlicensed technology at our companies. Period. It's not an anti-china thing (nice ad-hominem btw), it's a pro-innovation thing. Maybe you have a romantic vision of Silicon Valley from the 70s when the value was not fully recognized but in real life, attorneys make their living proving this notion wrong. Lot's of people think like you until they get a lawsuit for breach of contract or unjust enrichment. Why should one person or company get to profit individually from other peoples work who did not authorize them? That's fucking gross and here you are basically advocating for it.
Is it not obvious what the line is here? Don't give IP that isn't yours to companies that hire you. It doesn't matter if its from your memory or files that you copied and physically moved with you. This individual did not follow this obvious rule. If you can't do your job without stealing IP, then your job is criminal.
- ketzu 4y agoOriginal post claimed: > However there is no evidence that the Chinese company stole any IP from ASML You referenced the chinese company hiring the person with the sentence > In the except above, you've described the means by which the company stole the IP and is using the IP illegally. How can you possibly believe that the company didn't steal IP after writing this? This seems to me that you propose the person being hired by a company is proof enough of the chinese company actually using this technology. (The company accused and fined for IP violation was an american company employing the person in question.)
