there plenty of documented incidents (and probably countless undocumented ones) of intellectual property thefts of US work via offshore conduits (Cisco alone had to battle to stop the Chinese from selling knock offs of their products, right down to the stolen operating system)

No that's pretty close to flat out lying. No, it is lying. Period.

You know what we're talking about here. On the one hand we're talking about employment operations in India, and you want to equate that to mafia-type piracy operations in China. By resorting to such obvious and contemptible mendacity, you completely undermine your credibility and give us all a reason to take every word you say with the utmost of skepticism.

Yep, good idea. Your credibility is shot here. Better cut bait. Good riddance.

I have respect for many of the others here who take their position and defend it, even though I disagree. but to say that there are zero intellectual property issues with regards to source code from US companies being in the hands of Indian programmers - working within a legal system that offers limited protection for such work - is simply an astounding statement. the same applies to issues regarding identity theft and personal information databases located offshore.
