I took two online legal courses today offered by the company regarding EEA (Electronic Espionage Act) and foreign business bribery. Those are short courses, each took about half an hour to finish.
I think it is good to educate employee on those sensitive legal topic, especially for high-tech companies like us. Employee will get some better idea on those legal topic with a short course, which is good enough to convey the basic concept and serves as a heads-up.
I learned that you are not only illegal to spy on competitors' trade secret, but also you have to be careful not leak our trade secret accidentally or unintentionally. The foreign country business bribery, I've learned that the bribery can have a variety of forms, not confined to cash, offer of employment, special discount, or stocks are all considered some kind of bribery.
It's better to learn those legal issues if you want to do business in or with the US companies.
