Assignment:
Question 1. Discuss intellectual property theft and counterfeiting. Discuss the relationship among governments, institutions, organizations, and companies in developing the legal means to fight software piracy. Who does intellectual property theft, counterfeiting products, and piracy ultimately hurt? In your opinion, should software companies, industry associations, home governments, or transnational institutions take the lead in aggressively negotiating with the governments of countries with high piracy rates? Why?
Question 2. Read the U.S. Small Business Administration's article, titled Environmental Regulations(https://www.sba.gov/content/environmental-regulations), and visit the United States Environmental Protection Agency's "Laws & Regulations"(https://www2.epa.gov/laws-regulations) page.
Question 3. Identify one environmental law that is relevant to your past, current, or future employer. Apply that law to a business situation created by that employer. How does (or did) that employer maintain compliance with that statute? Do you believe that environmental regulations help or hinder business? Why or why not?
