This case would probably be decided the same way in any legal jurisdiction in the country. No Compete clauses have been deemed legal by many courts as long as they are reasonable to protect the business and are not overly restrictive as to duration or covered area. The losers are very lucky that they have not been charged with a larceny charge stealing company property (names, addresses, and other customer info)
