What legal options are available to companies outsourcing software for protecting intellectual property?

What legal avenues for protecting intellectual property are available to US companies who are outsourcing software to countries like China, India, Russia and the Ukraine?

Right now I have standard NDA and licensing agreements with my US based contractors, which have some enforcement and damages clauses but how do these hold up with in other countries? What do I need to do to protect my source code from appearing out on the internet somewhere?

Is this Legal? Principal sidesteps General Contractor on project extension – goes directly to SubContractors.?

A general contractor is hired by a principal to erect an large art exhibit.

The gen’l contr. hires subcontractors to build the exhibit and acquire rented and loaned items.

The gen’l contractor is paid an override from the principal on what is charged by the subcontr. to do the work.

The principal paid the gen’l cont. and then the gen’l paid the subcont..

The principal then decides to extend the display period beyond what was originally contracted for with the gen’l, but does so w/out going through the gen’l.

The principal goes DIRECTLY to the subcont. doing an “end run” around the gen’l. contr.

If the gen’l would have known the display period would have included this additional time, the original cost to the principal would have been greater thus allowing the gen’l a larger fee.

Does the gen’l have a cause of action against the principal for the lost fee?

Is there case law to support the gen’l’s claim?

In which states can legal residents switch British driving licenses for a US license without taking a test?

I am legal permanent resident with a British driving license about to relocate to America. I know regulations differ from state to state and was wondering which US states if any allow residents to switch their overseas licenses for US driving licenses without having to take and pass a driving test. I could be wrong but believe Washington allows this. Is there any way of finding out what rules apply in each state in one place instead of going to websites of every state.
