Non-compete agreements are VERY tricky, and in some cases are only valid until/unless the information is made available to the public. Let a lawyer explain the details, but available to the public seems to mean that if A steals the info and publishes it, B is no longer bound, or something like that. Again, let a lawyer clarify, I know there is an issue but I don't claim to understand the ramifications. > > > bwhahaha... > > nice try.. > > Do you reallly think you (on your own) can defend al those claims?
