Given the fundamental role computer programs play in numerous industries, and taken into consideration the high complexity and financial invest- ments involved in the development process, source code presents a particular interest for perpetrators. Successful misappropria- tion can result in profound consequences for the victims, com- pelling strong legal protection. Depending on the nature and circumstances of the offense, the theft of source code can be prosecuted as violation of several statutes, such as the Eco- nomic Espionage Act; the Fraud by Wire, Radio, or Television; the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act; the National Stolen Prop- erty Act; and the Arms Export Control Act.
