Doe Deere believes that women should live unapologetically. That’s why she created the make-up line, LimeCrime. Deer introduced “limecrime” on eBay in 2004 as a way to gain exposure for her DIY fashion line. The clothes she designed were bright and colorful but finding makeup to match the clothing was no easy task. Ultimately, she launched Lime Crime in 2008 creating unique colorful makeup with names like unicorn lipstick, carousel gloss and zodiac glitter. Recently, Lime Crime added a new category to its collection called Velvetines—a liquid matte lipstick that goes on smooth and stays on the lips. With colors like jinx (witchberry), rave (electric lavender), and black velvet (blackest black) to match the whimsical personalities of women—like
As you know, Target was infiltrated by malware and resulted with a criminal breach of Target’s security and data systems between the dates of November 27th through December 18th 2013.
The evolution of cyber threats has reached a critical point where hackers withhold important information in exchange for payment. In the last three decades, the Internet has fundamentally changed the way people, governments, and private organizations store, use, and manage information. The age of the Internet of Things has left everyone at the risk of a ransomware attack (Richardson and North 13). The ubiquitous connection to the Internet through mobile devices such as tablets, smartphones, and laptops has made the Internet the obvious and convenient place to store personal data including photos, research information, and business records. The challenge is that cybercriminals have developed a new way of getting illegitimate
Modern piracy has touched nearly every corner of the globe and has increased with globalization. The tentacles of piracy now extend from South America to the South China Sea. The greatest numbers of piracy incidents occur along maritime commercial trade routes. Since China dominates the world’s container shipping industry, the South China Sea has become a hotspot for piracy (Kraska 2011). The prominence of cargo activity increases opportunity for pirates and indisputably triggered the sixty- nine incidents of piracy that were reported in 2009 in the South China Sea (Kraska 2011).
A Worldwide Problem Software piracy is defined as the illegal copying of software for commercial or personal gain. Software companies have tried many methods to prevent piracy, with varying degrees of success. Several agencies like the Software Publishers Association and the Business Software Alliance have been formed to combat both worldwide and domestic piracy. Software piracy is an unresolved, worldwide problem, costing millions of dollars in lost revenue. Software companies have used many different copy protection schemes. The most annoying form of copy protection is the use of a key disk. This type of copy protection requires the user to insert the original disk every time the program is run. It can be quite difficult to keep up with disks that are years old. The most common technique of copy protection requires the user to look up a word or phrase in the program's manual. This method is less annoying than other forms of copy protection, but it can be a nuisance having to locate the manual every time. Software pirates usually have no trouble "cracking" the program, which permanently removes the copy protection. After the invention of CD-ROM, which until lately was uncopyable, most software companies stopped placing copy protection in their programs. Instead, the companies are trying new methods of disc impression. 3M recently developed a new technology of disc impression which allows companies to imprint an image on the read side of a CD-ROM. This technology would not prevent pirates from copying the CD, but it would make a "bootleg" copy differ from the original and make the copy traceable by law enforcement officials (Estes 89). Sometimes, when a person uses a pirated program, there is a "virus" attached to the program. Viruses are self-replicating programs that, when activated, can damage a computer. These viruses are most commonly found on pirated computer games, placed there by some malignant computer programmer. In his January 1993 article, Chris O' Malley points out that if piracy was wiped out viruses would eventually disappear (O' Malley 60). There are ways that a thrifty consumer can save money on software without resorting to piracy. Computer companies often offer discounts on new software if a person has previously purchased an earlier version of the software. Competition between companies also drives prices low and keeps the number of pirated copies down (Morgan 45). People eventually tire or outgrow their software and decide to sell it.
What do P2P, File sharing, and Bit Torrent sites have in common? They all are file sharing websites that you can send and look at files with other billions of people. Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing or networking is a distributed application architecture that partitions tasks or workloads between peers. File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books. Bit Torrent is a website used that is kind of like a peer-to-peer file sharing ("P2P") site which is used to distribute data and electronic files over the Internet. Be warned, though because these websites

Surprisingly, software counterfeiting has such a profitable global market that “organized criminal groups using the proceeds from software counterfeiting to pay for terrorist operations overseas”, according to Brad Smith, Microsoft general counsel international. [1] Even though most people nowadays are aware of pirated software either from various news medium, or by seeing illegal software copies distributed among friends or students in their personal PCs, it would still be a shocking fact that, in the year 2000, software companies estimated that they lost $12 billion in revenue because of counterfeiting. That's 15% of the industry's $80 billion in worldwide sales.[2]
The United States of America is a free country, then why shouldn’t the internet be free? Why should we have restrictions placed on what we can and cannot do on the internet? Every day, millions of users share files on the internet through numerous online sources. Whether they download music, movies, or software, online file-sharing can give people access to a plentiful amount of information. These files are often free and easily accessible by anyone. The practice of distributing or providing access to digitally stored information represents file sharing (Peer-to-Peer File-Sharing and Copyright Infringement: Are You Vulnerable?). Conversely many people see file sharing as unlawful. The reproduction or distribution of any copyrighted digital media or information defines internet piracy. Many people see downloading copyright files such as music, movies, books, and software as illegal. Music files, some of the first types of files to be reproduced and distributed through internet sources, contain the file extension .mp3. Several popular file sharing programs were developed in the 1990s and facilitated internet piracy. Big industries try to combat file sharing to help increase their revenue, however internet piracy actually increases revenue of industries and has numerous other benefits (What Is Internet Piracy?). The copy and distribution of digital files increased due to technology (Torr). Internet piracy, considered a problem all over the world, stands as difficult to stop along with other kinds of piracy (What Is Internet Piracy?). Anything can be digitalized and once something becomes digitalized it will be shared all over the internet (Torr). Canadian and European laws allow for the downloading of copyright files for personal us...
The protection of trade in general has always been considered as essential to the defense of the commonwealth, and, upon that account, a necessary part of the duty of the executive power.
Red lipstick, a gold sceptre, a toppled gold and red throne, gold mirrors and gold interior wall and door trimmings. The iconic crooked crown on Katy’s head, an unworn red crown on the floor, diamond shaped perfume bottle, the symbolic linguistic verbal sign ‘Killer Queen’ and the syntagm ‘Own the Throne’ which signify richness, success and royalty. As explained by Mohan (1997), secondary layers of signified evoked emotions and hence, this advert suggests that wealth and royalty are virtuous. Furthermore, the connotation of the advert linked back to the sales pitch of the perfume that if you buy and wear the scent ‘Killer Queen’, you too could have a lavish and honourable lifestyle. This, in turn, underpins the ‘wealth is desirable’ ideology being depicted throughout this

When a society acquire a technology, the society measures then weighs the benefits it could gain from the technology with the cost from possible misuse of the technology. As such, as useful as internet is, it could bring much harm when used for exploitation. In that regard, the problems of internet exploitation or cybercrime are causing significant damage especially in the international world. Within a nation, the government as an executive branch enforces the laws created by the judicial branch. However in the global society where there is no government or a recognized body of power that can enforce such international laws, the nations must rely on each other’s honesty and selflessness for the laws to be upheld. Nevertheless the political interests of each country often interfere with international law and portray the spirit of the law obscure.
