[citation][nom]smelly_feet[/nom]Typical of people who steal from their employer. They're bad at accounting. Profit earned from stolen good (or cost saving if they keep it) = $1500.00Minus.Loss of salary due to lost job = - $50,000Net Profit = -48,500.00or net savinging if keeping the item = -48,500.00It would be cheaper to not steal from the company and buy his/her own copy when it's released. So unless they're stealing something whose value will replace the job salary.....[/citation]
Other than stating the obvious (we know selling a leaked copy on eBay is less than an average salary), you're making a bunch of unfounded assumptions; a) that person is motivated purely by money, b) that person is going to get caught and fired c) that person isn't losing their job for unrelated reasons anyway, or has some grudge against their employer, etc.
