Some dodgy dodgy stuff happened! Which makes the last weeks announcement interesting doesn't it.

Sorry, missed that one, what announcement?
Can I pose a general question here:
How exactly can anyone "steal" something that is nothing more than just a rough idea? If no money had been paid to third parties to actually make something, or draw something, then where is the theft? And if there was money paid it had been paid by the people who went their own way, how is that theft?
And if a person or company had been paid to do a design, and documentation of that design existed, and some of the people involved said, "Let's do this on our own," then if they weren't the people who had paid the money what reason would the designer have to go with them?
It's all very well to get emotive and use words like "steal" but let's just see what comes out in the court case. I suspect there may be some surprises for some people out there...
