Is Eyetech pirating the A1200 Magic Pack software?

It'scommon practice in the develpment biz to take code you have written yourself home with you from work. I know I have on many an occasian and most of my colleagues have too. Then when you go work at another firm, you can just plug it in to whatever app you are working on if you need similar functionality.

Does that make me and 99.9% of coders world wide pirates?


Wouldn't that depend a bit on the contract you have with your current employer ? I can't work for another company in the same "field" for a year if I quit mu current job for example..

Really? That's sh!t, and most likely illegal under EU law also.

I think you're  right, but I never looked into it much only know what's in my contract and that some others with a similar contract did go to work for another company in the same field....

But as I have access to every bit of data in the company except personell data, I guess they are afraid that when I leave I could do some serious damage (Well, don't have to leave for that, I can do damage now if I want to.. )
