Abstract

Advancements in digital technologies offer new and easier methods in which consumers can purchase and enjoy creative content, for example, by downloading and viewing movies on a notebook computer. These advancements enable those who wish to profit from digital media that they did not author and do not own to illegally profit from the efforts of others.
