A: If you have knowledge that employees at Sheppard Mullin are setting up illegal streaming on their laptops, you should report this information to the appropriate authorities.

First, you may consider reporting the illegal activity to the management or HR department at Sheppard Mullin. They may have policies or procedures in place for handling these types of situations and can investigate the matter further.

If you believe that the illegal streaming activity is a criminal offense, you can also report it to the appropriate law enforcement agency, such as the local police department or the FBI.

Additionally, if you are an employee of Sheppard Mullin, you may have an obligation to report any illegal activity that you become aware of under the company's code of ethics or whistleblower policy.

It is important to protect yourself and ensure that you do not participate in or condone any illegal activity. However, it is also important to be cautious and avoid making any false accusations or spreading rumors that could harm innocent people. If you are uncertain about what to do, you may wish to consult with an attorney or a trusted advisor for guidance.
