 | | The Espionage Act of 1917 made it a crime, punishable by a $10,000 fine and 20 years in jail, for a person to convey antipathy with intent to interfere with the operation or success of the military or naval forces of the United States or to promote the success of its enemies. | | | While much of the laws were repealed in 1921, major portions of the Espionage Act remain part of U.S. law (18 USC 793, 794) and form the legal basis for most classified information. | | | United States, 249 U.S. The law was later extended by the Sedition Act of 1918, which made it illegal even to speak out against the government. |

| | Moreover, in a case brought under the Espionage Act the timing of Valerie Plame's most recent foreign assignment and the vigor with which the CIA was keeping her identity under wraps would both be irrelevant. | | | The Espionage Act has rarely been used, but it's not a dead letter, as the Morison case illustrated. | | | And notice how much weaker the scienter requirement is under the Espionage Act than under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act: "reason to know" that the information "could be used" to the injury of the United States. |

| | The EEA also reaches completely foreign acts of economic espionage provided that the defendant is either a United States citizen, a permanent resident alien of the United States, or a United States corporation. | | | The section provides for criminal forfeiture to the United States of any property constituting or derived from the process of violation of the act, and the forfeiture of any property used or intended to be used in the furtherance or commitance of the act. | | | In an early incarnation, the Act applied only to thefts of trade secrets that were intended to benefit a "foreign government, foreign instrumentality or foreign agent." Concerns that such a law may violate a number of international trade treaties caused the bill to be rewritten to include both foreign and domestic theft of trade secrets. |

| | Prior to 1996, if corporate espionage had occurred, recourse for such wrong was generally limited to instituting a civil action against the party misappropriating the trade secrets, and perhaps involving state authorities through an unfair trade practice statute. | | | The EEA further expressly provides that in any prosecution or other proceeding under this Act, the court is to take all steps as may be necessary to preserve the confidentiality of trade secrets, consistent with all other applicable laws. | | | The court is further provided the discretion under the EEA to order the forfeiture of any property utilized in the commission of the crime, taking into account various factors, such as the extent to which the property was used in the commission of the offense. |
