If the trade secret is not valuable (more precisely, if economic advantage is not gained or maintained by the continued secrecy of the intellectual property) then I believe that you will find it is not eligible for protection.
- lazide 3y agoYup, in this case I think the question would be ‘more valuable than the amount the company has paid AWS or not’. I’m vaguely recalling that is what damages are capped to in the TOS, but I might be off my rocker.

It is a very interesting question to someone who is a student of both cryptography and extremely slimy corporate entities. Edit: checked your history and I doubt there’s much need to explain this to anyone in this part of the thread, really. :)
