Where do you see the industry turning in regards to software piracy? There is speculation that this new "Web 2.0" isn't going to do very much in terms of protecting company's intellectual property from continuing to spread through the internet. There will always be backwards compatibility built into each O/S so customers can still run their existing hardware and software. If they released a new operating system without backwards compatibility there would be an uproar and people would not upgrade or switch to a different platform in retaliation. These backwards compatible doorways into the new technology create a hole that software pirates and hackers use to tunnel into and get around new security technologies. So, I guess my question to you is, just as I began, where do you see the industry turning, that is... what do you think they are going to do in both the near and distant future about security holes and leaks in order to better protect their intellectual property?
