However, in theory, the next time a team or player engages in sign stealing,
the U.S. Attorney General could sue under EEA § 1832, alleging “
theft of trade secrets.”
In this hypothetical case, a court could plausibly find baseball signs to be
“trade secrets” because they are (i) business information, broadly construed,
(ii) that teams take reasonable measures to protect, and (iii) that have
“independent economic value” from being secret and not being
“readily ascertainable by proper means.”
其實暗號一直都是被球團保護的秘密 又會直接影響球隊戰績
被偷暗號的球隊輸球會導致巨大的金錢損失
從這個角度看來
太空人偷暗號的行為是不是就跟竊取商業機密的商業間諜一樣可惡?
受害球團是不是該控告太空人求償呢?
