b Why is he famous?
с What kind of child and teenager was he?
THE MOST FAMOUS HACKER IN HISTORY
According to the Guinness Book of Records, Kevin Mitnick is the most famous computer hacker in the world. He was once on the FBI's 'Most Wanted' list of dangerous criminals, and was also the inspiration for a Hollywood film. Here is the story of his life. His parents divorced when he was three but he says his childhood was happy. He lived with his mother in the suburbs of Los Angeles. He was a genius with electronic devices and computers soon attracted his attention. By the age of 17 he was an expert in telephone and computer systems, but there was a criminal side to his interests. In 1981 the police arrested him for stealing computer manuals from the Pacific Bell telephone company. This was only the first of many problems with the authorities.

C. Look at the two opinions below. Which one do you most agree with?
a 'If the victim of hacking is a business, they can lose important data. There can be serious losses because of that. People like Mitnick deserve to go to prison.' - The public prosecutor in Mitnick's case
b Mitnick isn't a thief or a terrorist, he's a recreational hacker. He didn't do it for economic gain or damage anything.' - Mitnick's lawyer, Donald Randolph
TEXT XIV. NET PIRATES

A. Match the words on the left with the definitions on the right.

hardware transfer a file from one computer to another using the Internet

B. Answer the questions and then read the article to see if you are right.
True or false? It's possible ...
a to get free copies of songs from the Internet.
b to go to prison for sharing your collection of music.
с to stop people exchanging computer files illegally.
d to create your own collections of songs on a CD.
e to stop piracy by selling CDs for less money.
PIRACY ON THE NET
The Recording Industry Association of America - the RIAA - now takes legal action against people in the USA who swap music over the Internet. 'Net pirates' use their computers and special software like Kazaa to exchange music and films over the Internet. This is illegal and the RIAA says that this 'file-sharing' costs the music industry millions of dollars every year. People can download music without paying so they don't buy CDs in the shops.
The policy of the RIAA means that in the USA you can go to prison for offering music illegally on theInternet, but some experts think that you can't stop file-sharing. In a report for the US Association for Computing Machinery, four Microsoft scientists say that the systems for exchanging music like Kazaa, E-donkey or WinMX are here to stay. They say that trying to stop people using them is a waste of time and money.
The other problem for the music industry is that the hardware for making copies of CDs is very cheap. People can now make copies of CDs very easily and they can also create CDs with their own selections of favourite music, and then share them with their friends. Systems to prevent copying often don't work. In the end, perhaps the only way record companies can compete is by making music easy to obtain and cheap to buy.
