Computer softwares are the most important part of any computer system. Basically, these consist of programmes which enable the computer to execute specific tasks. The softwares are installed into the storage slots in computer systems which are RAM, hard disk and the memory. All the applications and programmes in a computer are run by the softwares. Most of these softwares are licensed rather than sold. The license is given for a certain period of time. Microsoft, Adobe, Norton and Linux are some of the leading software developers in the global markets.

The various programmes and data in a computer are generally called as the softwares. These can be classified into two types which are system software and programming software. The basic functions in a computer device are run by the system applications whereas programming applications provide tools to write different computer programmes. Both of these are equally important for smooth functioning of a computer system. One can also create one’s own applications such as spreadsheet templates, words and word processor macros.

There are a wide variety of softwares available to the users worldwide. The licensed computer software is the computer programme which is authenticated by the manufacturer. A number of such applications are being developed by the companies so that the computers could be used for many purposes. The licensing system is based on different concepts such as the number of computers on which the licensing programme can run and the number of users that would be running the programme.

Using unlicensed computer programmes is an offence and may lead to cyber crime. In fact, the legal computer applications allow the users to run the programmes on only one computer. However, copies of the software can be made for backup purposes. In some of the cases, one can run the applications on more than one computer system. This all depends on the type of agreement that comes with the software.

The licensed computer software is basically a protection against the unauthorized copying by the users. Several laws have been made in order to protect the intellectual property rights of the developer. If software is copied without permission of the owner, it is considered as “copyright infringement”. The offender can be imposed penalties and other punishments as per the laws. There a number of situations in which this offence can take place. These situations are as the following.

* When one loads the software into one’s computer by running the application from CD-ROM, hard drive or an optical storage media.

* The software is copied on to other storage devices such as pen drive, floppy disk or the hard drive of the computer.

* The application is run directly from the network place where it is stored.

* If the software is copied for a sale or hire, it is considered as a crime.

* The offence takes place if any supporting documents of software such as programme manuals, data, and codes are distributed to others without having permission from the owner.

Computer software is a big business and thousands of companies have invested their money in this industry. It requires a large sum of money, continuous efforts and sharp human brain to develop the softwares. Therefore it becomes necessary to protect this intellectual capital from hackers and piracy threats. The federal copyright law has been made in this direction which says that users can not copy softwares for any reason except for back-up purpose without the explicit permission of the copyright holder. Several other laws have been made for this purpose which protects the intellectual property rights of the software developers.

There are a number of places from where the valid computer programmes can be availed. Internet is perhaps the best source of getting these. Various online marketplaces offer the legally authorized softwares and applications. One can also download any particular programme directly from the developer’s website. Therefore, using licensed computer software is the best and ethical way to run the computer programmes. It minimizes the revenue loss of the concerned companies and also gives a lot of satisfaction to the users.

There is a new company making waves in the software industry. BluePenguin Software was founded in 2004. Since then they have been winning award after award for their superior product. To understand just why it is that BluePenguin Software is making waves you have to go to the events that led to the founding of the company.

Back in 2004 Carl Haugen, the founder of BluePenguin Software, had a severe spyware infection. He searched for a fix, but the only programs on the market that would do anything for spyware would only remove 80-90% of an infection leaving him still infected. In the end he had to wipe his hard drive losing a lot of data, and rebuild from the ground up. This would leave a bad taste in anyone’s mouth, but in the case of Carl Haugen it led to him creating BluePenguin Software.

BluePenguin Software is based off the idea that nothing short of 100% will do. So development of a spyware program that removes 100% of any spyware infection started. Once Carl Haugen was satisfied with his product BluePenguin Software released SpyZooka. SpyZooka is unique in the anti-spyware market. The first and really the most important reason is because it is guaranteed to remove 100% of any spyware infection you may encounter. No other anti-spyware software or company even attempts to give you a 100% guarantee. It could be said other software companies want your money not results. The second factor is the price. You can get SpyZooka for $29.99. Less effective programs can run you over $50.

In March 2009 BluePenguin Software released RegZooka. This product removes errors. “Blue Screen of Death,” registry errors, .dll errors, crashes, etc. RegZooka also speeds up your computer and removes un-needed programs from the system start up speeding up your start up speeds.

Then there is the support you get from BluePenguin Software. When you purchase one of their products you get 24/7 support. They accomplish this by having offices and employees on three continents. The reason for having employees all around the world is that allows BluePenguin to employ the best computing minds in the world. BluePenguin Software did not limit itself to just one country and therefore is able to offer superior support and product. If you should come across something that is not addressed in the programming yet all you have to do is contact BluePenguin Software, through either the SpyZooka or RegZooka program, and they will have a fix for you within hours. Most companies have a turnaround time of days. A few hours response time has been unheard of until now.

The ease of use of BluePenguin Software’s products must be mentioned. The programs are very user friendly. There is no guess work on what any of the buttons mean. The programs BluePenguin makes are very straight forward programs. With many programs out there, there is some guess work involved, and they make you do a lot of “this is where I want you to look for problems.” BluePenguin Software’s programs give you the option of selecting a specific area to scan, but you don’t need to. There is a quick scan built in that scans the most common problem areas.

People are running to the Internet to solicit information and also to place advertisements for their goods and services. The response has been good since the population of the people using the web is rising day by day. The world’s oldest profession has too planted a seed on the Internet and it is soon becoming very famous. To access the services, you just type a few keywords in a search engine like Google. This will give the information about all these call girls and boys. Most of the services will be disguised as massage therapies. The street walkers in the cyberspace will charge approximately $300 an hour. Some sites are very legal yet they are accused of offering Internet prostitution.

It is hard for federal agencies to look at it since pornography is not illegal. The law enforcers on front lines of cyber crime are slowly coming to address the rising problem. It is a point of concern since young women are prostituting with the highest bidders in the chat rooms. Investigations are now every where. Computers and phones are being confiscated to avoid any possible widespread of Internet prostitution. The social dating web sites are earning their revenue by show casing the so called fancy sex workers. The information is readily available at a click of a link. Incase you did not know, the thriving business is not done at the hometown of the Internet prostitutes. To avoid embarrassments, the women travel from as far as California to Chicago to engage in the online sex trade. They might stay for a month then take a flight back.

Some women will even offer sex for free on the Internet but for many it is a sex for money kind of a trade. Actually street walkers in the cyberspace charge more than the street prostitutes. In Dallas, Miami and Boston the women charge between $150 and $300 per hour while the normal commercial sex workers charge $10 to $15. This shows that Internet prostitution is viewed to have a touch of class. In Japan it is a more horrible case. Internet prostitution is as a result of sheer poverty. It is a part time job. The “Internet cafe refugees” engage in prostitution since they have food to eat or a place to sleep. Males and females meet in a cafe to perform Internet prostitution. They use the Internet to get any customer. They use a hotel to dispense their services but when it becomes so expensive the private booths in the cafe also act as convenient places.

They offer oral sex for around 10,000 yen and will even offer to do anything for you if you in return pay for the cafe bill which is mere 3,000 yen. The most popular places to meet these Internet prostitutes or “Internet cafe refugees” is in Deai Kissa(cafes for meeting) and also in 24 hours establishments where they spend the nights. They have no fixed physical address that is why Internet prostitution is a perfect arrangement for them. The e-commerce is intensely marketing the escorts like never before. They put a very enticing advertisement and out of the most probably 250 replies they get three regular stable customers. An escort will claim to offer intimate evening meetings, make a wonderful impression on your behalf and actually do whatever gives you pleasure. If this is how enticing the rent-a-woman world is, men are bound to go it cyber.
