Software Piracy
Software is one of the most profound technological developments of our time. Unfortunately, the ease with which software can be digitally duplicated has led to widespread piracy. Electronic pirates fit many descriptions: from an employee who illegally installs a copy of an application on his or her personal computer to international software cartels that sell counterfeit software over the Internet. As computer usage grows, so does the potential for software piracy.
Of course, the majority of you reading this aren't involved in organized piracy rings, but without an understanding of the software laws, you could be breaking them. Tune in this weekend as Ken and Chad delve into the grey area that differentiates fair use and abuse.
