II.Body

a.Limitations of Stopping Piracy

i.No borders, no boundaries, no dictator.

iii.Too many to police (CNET homepage, updated yesterday, Kazaa most downloaded for 55 weeks. 3.8 Mil on Kazaa last night)

iv.The law of supply and demand.

So since it cannot be stopped, what will happen because of it?

b.Monetary Impacts of Piracy

i.No lines

ii.Free music/movies

All of these factors help us to understand the effects of games a little more.

b.Thesis: "Whether you choose to buy a CD or burn it"

c.Closing comment: "Next time you hear a song you like, just download

Corley, 273 F.3d 429 (2d Cir. 2001), argue that the law should at least allow purchasers of movies, music, and books in digital form to make limited copies for fair use.…
