Am I the only one who feels that an NDA, even an NDA with a vendor, is an agreement that should be honored ? I know they are silly in many case, but still...
yes, they are silly and, imo, highly unethical. with certain types of equipment an individual vendor or a pair of vendors have a virtual monopoly, so their actions and policies should be viewed in that light. with that said, two wrongs don't make a right. if you try to make something happen to change their behaviour, such as persuading them to act differently or compelling them to do so through regulation or legislation - great and many thanks. however, giving someone your word (this is what signing an agreement means) - at least for me - means i'm going to keep it. if you are not prepared to do so, don't give it/sign it. morality is about *your* behaviour first and foremost, since you can't be held responsible for that of others. -p --- paul galynin
