Piracy

War took place in what was the slave trading capital of mainland North America. Charleston was host to an event that spanned over a century and that is the great migration of Africans to America by as many means as possible from the slave trade to piracy. Due to its geographic location and need for slaves, Charleston became the principal port for slave trading on the mainland. The slave trade database is only as good as the ledgers of legal and recorded voyages made them to be. That being said…

Gates licensed MS-DOS to IBM, which it had acquired from a local computer manufacturer. The story of how Microsoft acquired the original system (QDOS) has inspired much folklore, which often portrays Gates pouncing on a trivial mistake by Digital Research and stealing that company's lead in microcomputer operating systems. It is frequently cited by those who accuse Gates of unethical business practices. In reality, IBM did approach Digital Research for a version of CP/M for its upcoming IBM PC,…

Net Neutrality Regulation Pros Network neutrality prevents ISPs from charging services such as Netflix, Skype, PlayStation Plus, and Xbox live for “fast lanes.” The extra expenses for “fast lanes” are a big challenge for internet users since the services become more costly and small companies are prevented from healthy competition with larger corporations that have the required budgetary means to make deals with ISPs. Network neutrality also prevents bias behavior against users by insuring that…

techniques were being developed to take a bit out of this sharing by those with an interest in earning a profit.

The Tampa rescued about 433 people in August 2001; many of them were of Afghan origin. These persons had been trying to reach Australia in a wooden fishing boat but the boat started sinking about 140 kilometers off the coast of Christmas Island. Some of the people aboard the ship required urgent medical attention so the Tampa decided to proceed to…

Americans have laid cheek and jowl with terrorism for many years, especially since the events of September 11, 2001. While terrorism is usually concerned with bombings, kidnappings or hijackings, some forms of terrorism are much more costly regarding monetary expense. It is estimated that cyber terrorism costs the consumers at least 100 billion dollars a year, although that is only a rough estimate. Company costs for cybercrime can come from the following areas: loss of intellectual property or…

content, often with known characters (e.g. Marvel heros) and special effects to increase the level of acceptance (Hitt, Ireland, Hoshisson, 2015). The challenges faced by the studios include managing and protecting content rights and royalties, fighting piracy, and controlling the increasing cost of talent (“Global Movie and Entertainment,”…

In 2004, the ban on locally produced horror and supernatural films was lifted, marking an era when the number of supernatural film screenings skyrocketed in local cinemas. Much of this was due to the efforts of Shuhaimi Baba, as she managed to convince the censorship board to reconsider the ban so that local films could be financially competitive with the influx of foreign horror films (Hassan, 2013, p 228). It is useful to note that before the censorship was being lifted – for few decades,…
