Most online piracy happens through what is called file-sharing software, such as Kazaa, Gnutella and Direct Connect, that links millions of computers to one another over the Internet. File-sharing software takes advantage of the fact that music and movies are stored as digital data--they're not vinyl and celluloid anymore, but collections of disembodied, computerized bits and bytes that can be stored or played on a computer and transmitted over the Internet as easily as e-mail. Using file-sharing software, people can literally browse through one another's digital music and movie collections, picking and choosing...
...would-be pirates with camcorders. When Epic Records distributed review copies of the new Pearl Jam album last fall, it sent them inside CD players that had been glued shut.

(The $17,000 Mini is not included...
...light boxes, reveals its naked anatomy of trailing wires and reused components, echoing the untidy aspects of a built-up area as well as its brash artificial sources of color. Another theme Nesbitt detects is art that "invites a direct encounter," like Jim Lambie's jazzy floor of multicolored vinyl tape that follows and magnifies the pillars and doorways of a double-height gallery. In contrast, Susan Philipsz's art is meant to be overheard - a tune picked out clumsily on a piano; her own voice singing mournfully. David Cunningham's A Position Between Two Curves picks up ambient sound...
