Needlework patterns, sampled sounds, guitar chord charts, HDTV shows, websites, photos, and recipes—these are just a few things now stored digitally that once took other forms. Computers make things easy to copy, which initially caused rejoicing among many industries. But now that computers are small and inexpensive enough to enter most homes, practically every industry that deals with printed or recorded information is battling Internet piracy or will have to do so eventually.
