Plusieurs facteurs, et pas les moindres, jouent pour empêcher la livraison quotidienne du journal que ce soit la géographie, la circulation, la météo et les horaires des avions, des autobus, des trains et des entreprises de camionnage. Les personnes qui œuvrent au sein du service du tirage sont fières de considérer ce genre de problèmes comme de simples irritants mineurs.

OBS

The main threat so far to the recording industry, is that as each successive copy is identical to the original; there is no loss in quality no matter the generation of the copy. It was precisely for this reason that the recording industry so fervently opposed the introduction of DAT[ 2] technology in the late 1980s, and succeeded in the passage of the Audio Home Recording Act of 1992. The issue of copying music onto a cassette did not cause much concern prior to the introduction of DAT as the cost of making copies was restricted by the price of cassette tapes-and each successive copy was of poorer quality than the last. There was little market for second-, third-, or fourth-generation scratchy home recordings.

OBS

The Audio Home Recording Act of 1992(AHRA) amended the United States copyright law by adding chapter 10 "Digital Audio Recording Devices and Media. "The act enabled the release of recordable digital formats such as Sony and Phillips’ Digital Audio Tape DAT without fear of contributory infringement lawsuits. The RIAA and music publishers, concerned that consumers ability to make perfect digital copies of music would destroy the market for audio recordings, had threatened to sue both companies and lobbied Congress to pass lesgislation imposing mandatory copy protection technology and royalties on devices and media. The AHRA is often overlooked, but it establishes a number of important precedents in US copyright law that that defined the debate between device makers and the content industry for the ensuing two decades.

OBS

Le 15 juin 1999, la Cour d'appel du 9ème circuit a mis un terme aux débats relatifs à l'application du Audio Home Recording Act de 1992 aux appareils Rio MP3 commercialisés par la société Diamond. Ladite loi, adoptée principalement pour encadrer l'utilisation des lecteurs de cassettes DAT (Digital Audio Tape), oblige les distributeurs et fabricants d'appareil d'enregistrement numérique à équiper ces derniers d'un système empêchant la copie de deuxième génération.

DEF

An online or offline hacker who steals copies of blockbuster movies, computer games, and software before their official release and makes them available free over the web.

CONT

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.

OBS

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.

CONT

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.
