As wrong as it may seem the courts still side with the companies.
What's to stop me from directly copying what I am doing at work and trying to compete with them? It wouldnt be fair if every employee you hired could just quit then rip you off once they figured out everything.
Fortunately my company has a process where you can legally clear your side projects as long as it isnt in conflict or competes with the company.
Sure, but I'm talking about right and wrong, not law. The law is fucked in innumerable ways.

That's theft, copying is not the same thing as rewriting in your own time.
