the theft was not for profit. Bootleggers in it for the technical challenge rather than the money. Although it will take four days to download the 19th Bond adventure into an ordinary computer, users with high-speed telephone lines are able to make a copy overnight and then "burn" it onto a video CD which could be watched on any home computer. 1, record 1, English, - multimedia%20bootlegger

On peut déjà distinguer le «cyberpirate» qui opère en ligne sans nécessairement gagner de l'argent, du «contrefacteur multimédias» qui peut vendre les copies physiques des CD, films, et logiciels volés. 2, record 1, French, - faussaire

Le business de la contrefaçon c'est hautement perfectionné et globalisé. Avec l'essor des disques optiques (CD, CD-ROM, CDV, DVD...) les pirates sont passés à la production de masse. Les faussaires amortissent en cinq mois le coût de leur équipement, contre cinq ans pour un fabricant légal. Les contrefacteurs engrangent des projets colossaux. Le piratage de CD attire la criminalité organisée. 1, record 1, French, - faussaire
