30、. 30 Internet piracy refers to the use of the Internet for illegally copying or distributing unauthorized software. In these cases the Internet is the medium for advertising, offering, acquiring, or distributing pirated software. The Business Software Alliance, a software industry trade association,
31、 estimates that there are 840 000 Internet sites selling illegal software as genuine product. Many consumers who acquire software over the Internet never receive the programs they paid for. Others are not able to get their money back if they discover that the software they acquired is counterfeit. D
32、isreputable Internet businesses often quickly vanish, leaving behind hundreds of dissatisfied consumers. The ease of creating a Website and then advertising and distributing software through the Internet has increased sales of pirated software passed off by seemingly legitimate businesses. Plus, the
33、 explosive growth of e-commerce, combined with anonymity (匿名 ) and unlimited volume, have made it even easier for criminals to sell counterfeit (伪造的 ) software online. Illegal online businesses often have professional-looking Internet sites that could fool even the smartest consumer. Distinguishing
34、counterfeit software on the Internet is understandably difficult because consumers cant visually examine the product for physical warnings on the hardware, or see the person from whom theyre buying. Pirated software can often contain viruses with the potential to damage both individual computers or
35、entire networks. Viruses can and do cause data loss, which would be devastating to most companies. When using unlicensed software, you are not eligible for technical support from the software publisher. If you have a technical issue in need of resolution, oftentimes a work-stopping issue, you are ou
36、t of luck. In addition, product upgrades (升级 )less expensive upgrades of existing productsare not available to you. Based on Business Software Alliance estimates, the current loss of jobs, wages, and critical investments in software and technology innovation worldwide due to piracy so far this year
37、is estimated at: $11 326 675 282. “Software piracy continues unabated (不减弱的 )， robbing the industry of thousands of jobs, billions in wages, tax revenues and critical investments in new technologies,“ according to Robert Holleyman, president and CEO, Business Software Alliance. 31 Internet piracy is
38、 defined as_. （ A） selling pirated books over the Internet （ B） stealing information from other Websites （ C） copying or selling unauthorized software over the Internet （ D） advertising and selling counterfeit products over the Internet 32 According to the passage, businesses selling counterfeit sof
39、tware online_. （ A） actually have good reputation （ B） keep their promises to customers （ C） deliver ordered products quickly （ D） dissatisfy many customers 33 Sales of pirated software over the Internet has been encouraged by all of the following EXCEPT _. （ A） the ease of creating a website （ B） t
40、he ease of advertising and selling software through the Internet （ C） the explosive growth of e-commerce （ D） the abundance of professional-looking Internet sites 34 It is difficult for consumers to distinguish counterfeit software from genuine software on the Internet because_. （ A） it involves com
41、plex detecting technique （ B） it requires a good knowledge about software （ C） consumers cant visually examine the product （ D） consumers dont understand the physical warnings on the hardware 35 Which of the following harms of pirated software is NOT mentioned in the passage? （ A） It often contains

43、he Internet. Books, compact discs, and even stocks were available from World Wide Web sites that seemed to spring up almost daily. A few years earlier, some people had predicted that consumers accustomed to shopping in stores would be reluctant to buy things that they could not see or touch in perso
44、n. For a growing number of time-starved consumers, however, shopping from their home computer was proving to be a convenient alternative to driving to the store. A research estimated that in 1998 U. S. consumers would purchase $ 7. 3 billion of goods over the Internet, double the 1997 total. Finding
45、 a bargain was getting easier, owing to the rise of online auctions and Web sites that did comparison shopping on the Internet for the best deal. For all the consumer interest, retailing in cyberspace was still a largely unprofitable business, however. Internet pioneer Amazon, com, which began selli
46、ng books in 1995 and later branched into recorded music and videos, posted revenue of $ 153. 7 million in the third quarter, up from $37. 9 million in the same period of 1997. Overall, however, the companys loss widened to $ 45. 2 million from $ 9. 6 million, and analysts did not expect the company
47、to turn a profit until 2003. Despite the great loss, Amazon, com had a stock market value of many billions, reflecting investors optimism about the future of the industry. Internet retailing appealed to investors because it provided an efficient means for reaching millions of consumers without havin
48、g the cost of operating conventional stores with their armies of salespeople. Selling online carried its own risks, however. With so many companies competing for consumers attention, price competition was intense and profit margins thin or nonexistent. One video retailer sold the hit movie Titanic f
49、or $ 9. 99, undercutting (削价 ) the $ 19. 99 suggested retail price and losing about $ 6 on each copy sold. With Internet retailing still in its initial stage, companies seemed willing to absorb such losses in an attempt to establish a dominant market position. 36 Which of the following is true, according to the writer? （ A） Consumers are reluctant to buy things on the Internet. （ B） Consumers are too busy to buy
