My experience with the American system is that even if you do wrong 
(steal code), if you have enough cash on you, you can usually settle the 
case and clear your reputation. For example when Andrei's employer was 
accused of stealing the facebook code and idea, he paid a big $$$ sum of 
money and they all promised to shut up. That's how things work in jolly 
good America. That's just my interpretation, don't know if it's true.
