Realistically, though, it doesn't prevent anything.

The odds of them finding out are very low, and bringing a succesful suit even lower (especially with a 10 year NDA over a school project -- it would be easy to get that thrown out as unreasonable).

They're basically just relying on the fact that most people are good people and will largely follow the rules. It's amazing how much of society depends on that assumption, really.

What amazes me is how many people in society will abide by rules set by organizations who have shown zero inclination to apply the same standards to themselves.

Yeah, when it's bullshit like this that's clearly just companies lobbying the government to keep the common man down, I have no problems ignoring it.

Even just basic traffic laws, in my city (Toronto) the cops don't bother with any enforcement except the occasional speed trap. I've heard it's a form of protest on their part that's been going on for years.

Most people still obey most of the time, because it makes traffic flow better and keeps everyone safer. But if I need to turn left during a timed no-left restriction, I don't have a problem doing it. As long as it's not unsafe and I have a decent reason.
