Security for Insecure Times

摘要

The emergence of the Internet and personal computers has produced unprecedented information content and access and placed volumes of data at practically anyone's fingertips. While the spread of such technology has increased efficiency and knowledge, it has also made information theft easier and more damaging.One common form of information theft is the unauthorized copying and distribution of copyrighted material. Today, one can obtain pirated versions of the latest movies, often before release, by making a quick visit to a file-sharing network or a less-than-reputable shop. Surprisingly, the pirated material often comes from Hollywood insiders, such as the employees of the post-production shop, or individuals who receive prerelease screener DVDs.
