Also Opera needs your millions so that they can continue to support a piece of software that no one uses. (Chrome FTW!)
I wish I knew someone who used Opera so I could ask them to start boycotting it.
Hey Chris, good to know for any consulting companies (like the OP's) that okcupid/IAC might want to hire! It's nice that you're not so concerned about trade secrets!

A more straightforward way to write your comment would be "Since you believe that the OP did not divulge trade secrets and are opposed to apparently frivolous legal action, you must not care about protecting your own trade secrets."
The problems with this position should be obvious.

I can assure you I'd never sue someone for stealing trade secrets. Whatever "trade secrets" means in software, anyway.
Just one extreme to make your statement look silly.

How about a contractor selling the okc source code tree to some Chinese "entrepreneur" who launches a copycat site in China that somehow gains 300M members within a year? Just one extreme to make your statement look silly.
A trade secret is... what?
although this doesn't change my stance on using opera, i hope this results in a ousting of the current ceo.

Really? This is quite news to me; I don't think many people are still stuck with feature phones on China Mobile, at least in the big cities.
IIRC the low-end smartphones made by ZTE/Huawei are quite popular.

Ok, I personally find this kind of lawsuit deplorable for 2 reasons:
(1) The world is better when people share ideas and don't try to claim ownership over them. If, while I worked at OkCupid, someone left my company and used "secrets" we held to start or improve a competitor, I would believe it was their right. And that I had failed to nurture their creativity or compensate them well enough.
(2) This is an individual being assaulted at a corporate magnitude.
I hope he has checked this with a lawyer and that he is not giving his adversary ammunition. Good luck.
This sounds like it was written by a lawyer, or at least run by one.

There is such a rush to bless this guys post and chastise opera in these comments it is astounding. I don't understand the complete disregard for a balanced consideration of the facts.
