Ever since the inception of the Internet its been bound to happen...Being able to download copies of the latest movies, music and software with a couple clicks of the mouse.A recent dvd quality of a sci-fi blockbuster "District 9" that was posted to file trading networks for people to download.
This raises the question, as many pros that are affiliated with innovative information systems and technology there are also some negative implications when looked at from a legitamate business/ebusiness perspective. Downloading this content for personal or commercial use is considered to be illegal in the United States but, is still done on a regular basis. The amount of money businesses lose is substantial enough for them to put a lot of their resources towards preventative action to minimize their losses.
I correlated this article as a part of disruptive technology that affects several of the industries in business today. Having the ability to access a wide array of downloadable content for personal or commercial use probably never processed through the companies vision. It'll be intersting to see what type of new technology arises to help eleviate the negative impact this is having on business.
