I'm not buying this law until I see it in writing...  Working at a publicly traded company, and being an investor myself (albeit small time investor), and also being beat over the head with the big rubber **** called Sarbanes Oxley all day long, I have heard nothing of this law. 

As it relates to Softimage, it doesn't really matter.  They'll announce new products when they decide to (or when they feel they can).  The thing that bugs me is that someone mentioned this "rule/law", and all of the sudden it's conventional wisdom.  Everyone is repeating it like it is truth when no proof has been shown.  </rant>

- BTW, this isn't directed at anyone specific...  Just a general rant.

Well look, everyone from Softimage I spoke to at Siggraph have told me
about this law. It might be just a trick to calm down rumors, however
they really insisted about its implications.
