He does not need to be alerted. He is an experienced businessman.

He knows that perfectly well. Second, why would you be furious? That makes no sense. Why shouldn't I or someone else advise Rossi that he is endangering his own intellectual property. If you had intellectual property worth billions of dollars, I suppose you would appreciate it if people warned you that you might lose it by saying too much. You would be thankful. If you left your car door open with your wallet on the front seat, I assume you would appreciate it if I warned you. Rossi should work day and night for 20 years, and risked all of his personal fortune. You seem to be saying that he should now give away the fruits of his labor for nothing, and if he starts to give it away inadvertently, we should be "furious" if someone warns him. - Jed
