[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 55, member: 174998"] NDS official response, posted on their main website: http://www.nds.com/newspdfs/NDSStatement_120302.pdf It includes the following interesting text: - Recognizing the inferiority of their own conditional access technology, Canal Plus approached NDS in December 2001 with the idea of merging the two companies, and attempted to use these baseless allegations to gain leverage in the negotiations. - Canal Plus acknowledges that it has reversed engineered its competitors’ cards. - For the past year, Canal Plus has been trying (without success) to hire away the very employee they claim gave their code to DR7. In fact, their own lawyer has been involved in this poaching process, despite the fact that the employee is under contract with NDS. Why would Canal Plus want to hire a person they claim was involved in such activity? NDS intends to counterclaim against Canal Plus for this tortious conduct as well as tortious interference with other employment and contractual relationships of NDS'. ------------------------------------------- Incidentally, "tortious" (from the Law of Torts) is legalese which means "wrongful interference (in business relationship)" 2old [/QUOTE]
