Lesson 3

Songs

I’m all for downloading MP3 files, video

games, and movies from illegal servers on the

Internet. If I can get it for free, why do I need to
waste money on the original copy? Piracy may

be a crime, and it may cripple the music and
entertainment industries, but you can bet your

bottom dollar that the music, the game and the
movie industries will not have the direct loss.

In fact, without the threat of piracy, the Internet would never evolve to be

moresecure. It’s like a game of cops and robbers: the hackers and the crackers
are pitted against the anti-hackers and the cyber cops. In the meantime, the

network is free for all. Grab what you can have today because it may be gone

tomorrow.
