In Britain this couldn't happen.
As soon as the Judges caught on, the veil would be torn, and the outsourcing
companies would get caught in the web of liability.
It is explicitly not permitted for incorporation to shield the principals, where
the company merely acts on their instructions.
It might be the same in the US, but British directors are far more afraid (with
reason) of this rule being enforced.

I struggle to see how anyone can complain that various parties are trying to
'crush' Android.
If I were to copy Windows, or OSX, and provide it as free software for PC makers
I would expect to be taken to court and to lose. Google appear to think that it
is OK to copy other people's work if they are giving it away for free (which
they aren't anyway).
If that behaviour was to be allowed then there would not be any more innovation
as there would be nothing to stop people copying your ideas.
Very, very pleased to see that Foxconn have now signed up to a licence with
Microsoft. Motorola will not be far behind which means, of course, that Google
themselves will finally be paying for some of the IP they decided to steal from
others.
The lesson to be learn is 'don't be evil'. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
