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
