29、g, or distributing pirated software.

Illegal online businesses

32、 often have professional-looking Internet sites that could fool even the smartest consumer. Distinguishing 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 bu

33、ying. Pirated software can often contain viruses with the potential to damage both individual computers or 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 p

34、ublisher. If you have a technical issue in need of resolution, oftentimes a work-stopping issue, you are out of luck.

41、tween programs that normally function together. 35 In 1998 consumers could purchase virtually anything over the 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 consumer

42、s accustomed to shopping in stores would be reluctant to buy things that they could not see or touch in person. 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

43、1998 U. S. consumers would purchase $ 7. 3 billion of goods over the Internet, double the 1997 total.

45、r, the companys loss widened to $ 45. 2 million from $ 9. 6 million, and analysts did not expect the company 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

46、appealed to investors because it provided an efficient means for reaching millions of consumers without having 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 co

47、mpetition was intense and profit margins thin or nonexistent. One video retailer sold the hit movie Titanic for $ 9. 99, undercutting (削价 ) the $ 19. 99 suggested retail price and losing about $ 6 on each copy sold.
