  • open source (do you use?  if so, give an example)
  • commercial software (2 examples you use)
Assignment 2: Read the article based on a US Case study on software Piracy

Now read another short article http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2002/11/26/191231/Woman-gets-nine-years-on-pirate-software-rap.htm.

Post II: On your blog compare and contrast the how software piracy impacts society vs how freeware and shareware impacts society.

When finished with the above, watch and comment on fellow students' screencast posted on their blogs.
