- Hi everyone.
- I have a question, which I hope you can help me with. This, once again,
- is material for a research which I am doing on computing, etc.
-
- Currently, there are companies in the US which are making use of
- programmers abroad (Russia, etc.) for software development at
- low man hour costs. How can these companies protect their software
- from getting stollen by the programmers themselves and getting sold
- to other companies?
-
- The big question is that the American companies have no way of using
- US law to protect them outside the US.
-
- Are there technological means of protecting software as it is being
- written? As in password protected hardware, etc??? I don't know...
-
- Any ideas?
-
- Thanks and please reply to themos@umbc5.umbc.edu
