If You Know the Plot Lines to Breaking Bad, You Would Be Well-Advised to Tread Lightly

Kenneth Vanko asks,

Do the plot lines over [the] final eight episodes [of Breaking Bad] qualify as “trade secrets”? Put another way, if one of the show’s insiders – an actor, a writer, a key grip – published the final episodes’ general plot narrative (online or in an interview), would the owners of the show – AMC – have a claim for trade secret misappropriation?
