How to 'trade secrets' translate to 'computer crime?' If I steal the blueprints for the 'better mousetrap,' then does it become a 'computer crime' because I'm liable to stealing trade secrets?

I don't follow you: Is someone claiming that trade secrets imply computer crime?

The strongest claim that I see is that REACT is an appropriate resource to assign.

Do you see anything about REACT that implies otherwise? http://www.reacttf.org/10701.html

It says on the bottom of their front page that they investigate trade secret matters: http://www.reacttf.org/2101.html

Why harp on the phrase "computer crime" in the first place? I don't see it mentioned on the REACT site at all. It appears to have been an oversimplification invented by a journalist and propagated here by jrockway's question.
