What are the laws regarding CI data collection?
When is a CI act illegal?

Attorney and CI expert Richard Horowitz explains the basics of CI collection techniques and the legal validity of CI. Topics to be discussed include what is a “gray zone,” and whether it is legal to overhear a competitor on an airplane, or to misidentify oneself as a student.  The presentation also explains why abiding by the ethical standard will spare CI professionals and their companies potential legal problems and will explain why the Economic Espionage Act does not affect CI activities that are practiced in an ethical manner.
