Question 1

Correct Answer:

Answers will vary. Firms now have the ability to track customer behaviors. Companies have the ability to store email messages that an individual sends and receives from his or her company's system. For example, radio frequency identification (RFID) chips are embedded in U.S. passports and in many states' driver's licenses. Some privacy experts are concerned that such chips will make it easy for government organizations to track individuals.
Intellectual property refers to property that is the result of creative or intellectual effort, such as books, musical works, inventions, and computer software. Copyright laws give creators exclusive rights to produce, record, perform, and sell their work for a designated time.
Piracy occurs when someone reproduces and distributes copyrighted intellectual property without first obtaining permission or providing compensation to the owner of the copyrighted material. When piracy becomes widespread, creators of intellectual property receive much less income for their efforts.
