Corporate Espionage

How big a problem is commercial espionage and what can businesses do about it? And we speak to the inventor of the emotional spell checker for your e-mails, and ask what on earth it is.

New technology makes commercial espionage easier than ever. Justin Rowlatt interviews corporate spy-catcher Crispin Sturrock about the scale of business espionage and what companies can do about it.
