Now anyone who's ever opened a book knows it's next to impossible for a book to lie flat without some sort of device. One solution to the problem was to use glass plates that individually flattened each page, but this method wasn't very efficient. The other solution was to chop off the book's binding, but that method destroyed the book.

This course is all about understanding: understanding what's going on inside your computer when you flip on the switch, why tech support has you constantly rebooting your computer, how everything you do on the Internet can be watched by others, and how your computer can become infected with a worm just by turning it on. In this course we demystify computers and the Internet, along with their jargon, so that students understand not only what they can do with each but also how it all works and why. Students leave this course armed with a new vocabulary and equipped for further exploration of computers and the Internet. Topics include hardware, software, the Internet, multimedia, security, website development, programming, and dotcoms. This course is designed both for those with little, if any, computer experience and for those who use a computer every day.

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.

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.
