Copyright Infringement

Jacki speaks with reporter Denise Hamilton of Wired Magazine about the problem of computer software copyright infringement in the United States. This week, the US announced that it would impose trade sanctions on China because illegal reproductions of computer software are being sold there for a fraction of the price of authentic software. Hamilton says that the problem is serious WITHIN our borders as software bootleggers are becoming ever-more sophisticated.
