Depending on which employer you move to, you can still be sued regardless of non-competes, happens all the time where non-competes don't exist (California). You can still receive a cease and desist depending on what you have worked on and where you are working now based on the IP regulations and non-disclosures, so this does nothing (and nobody in the industry is actually celebrating this except a few executives where the was enforceable).

I've signed dozens of these contracts, I know how they affect people, I know what they mean and how they are used.
