To be fair to some of the nay-sayers I recall that more than one pointed 
out you don't need *any* internet access in order to make off with code 
you have access to for working on. At the crudest level a decent camera 
phone will take readable, and possibly OCR-able, screen-shots.

Having absolutely no experience of this sort of thing I'll spare you the 
benefit of my ignorance, but I will take the opportunity to note that 
the problem is (as you have acknowledged) entirely the result of the 
proprietary-code model, and snigger ;-)
