  • the Business Software Alliance is a "far less unpopular organization" than the RIAA. I think the answers are quite illuminating. First, BSA's members have always offered their products for sale to the public, through any channel that wants to sell them. Second, BSA's members are consumer-oriented; they try to develop products that respond to consumers' needs, and not, the reverse: focusing on what they want to sell to consumers.
  • It is true that there have in the past been complaints about the music industry from the public and retailers -- retailers, almost all of whom have been driven out of business. These complaints are though about poor business practices, not business practices. The complaints aren't that the record industry is a business, but that it has been poorly run as a business.
  • The CD is not a fair fight with the download.

  • Third, because consumers can easily purchase BSA's members products, those who copy without paying are simply scofflaws. I think the fact that the public does not object to BSA's campaign proves my point and disproves yours and the music industry's: people do not want things for free; they are willing to pay for them. If people were simply thieves, then they would have an even stronger reaction against the BSA because the price spread between copying and buying is so much vaster than with music.

"The fifth method of acquiring the information necessary to hijack accounts is by inserting malicious software (such as a keystroke logger26), often referred to as "spyware," on a consumer's personal computer at home or on a computer used by many consumers in a public facility like an Internet café"

    This became painfully obvious a week ago when a woman who claims to have had an affair with Tiger Woods told a celebrity publication that he had sent her flirty text messages, some of which were published. It follows on the heels of politicians who ran afoul of text I.Q., including a former Detroit mayor who went to prison after his steamy text messages to an aide were revealed, and Senator John Ensign of Nevada, whose affair with a former employee was confirmed by an incriminating text message.

  • ''Sexting'' has lawyers grappling for a new definition of what constitutes a predatory sex offender. In general, the law says any nude or semi-nude photo of someone under the age of 18 constitutes child pornography.
  • A 2008 survey by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unwanted Pregnancy found that 39 percent of teens have sent or posted sexually suggestive messages and 48 percent say they have received such messages. Many parents worry the images could find their way onto the Internet, or even worse, into the possession of actual sexual predators.
  • Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus also experienced the pitfalls of ''sexting'' when someone hacked into her phone and leaked racy images of her—meant only for her boyfriend—online.
