There are a whole lot of laws related to intellectual property, employment, and contracts. It is a very wide field.

When talking about this kind of stuff, most people have not memorized the exact line number, in the exact paragraph, of laws that cover all sorts of things.

We are talking about hundreds or thousands of pages of law here. There is a lot to cover.

But the point is that there are a lot of laws, related to all of that.

And it is should be pretty clear how there is a risk to run afoul of something having to do with intellectual property, contracts, or the like, if you do something similar to what this kid did.
