[Is this Acceptable?]

Is this acceptable?

An employee of a sign company told me the owner has installed spyware on staff computers to log all internet use, all email

communications, and a keylogger that records everything the employee types. All this in addition to active telephone monitoring that is NOT revealed to clients or employees. These actions were discovered by the employee quite by chance. It would be nice to get input on this from both sides. Should Sign companies do this and should employees accept this behavior as a condition of work?

[How Important is Intellectual Property in Your Decisions?]

who is this troll? Intellectual Property Law ? For signs? or some small part included in the fabrication of a sign? ????

The Sign business is comprised of the worst of the copywright infringment whores known to to the advertising industry.

One reason why we in the industry are forced to impose sales taxes on "our" products....because we can't show we first created anything. Thus we are retail.....

It is the rare sign company that actually does legally copywright, and ENFORCE copywright on their creations.

[How Important is Intellectual Property in Your Decisions?]

If you are working on a large sign program and you have to recommend to the end customer which product to use between two different choices and it is brought up that one of the suppliers clearly violates some existing intellectual property/patents...would you caution the end customer away from using that supplier?

After all - if in fact there is a legal issue it is well known that even the end customer (the sign company) could be held liable and pursued legally for using the patent infringing product - right???

I am just curious how intellectual property plays a part in a sign company's decisions.
