问题     Some deviant uses of technology are criminal, though not all
participants see it that way. Downloading of music, typically protected
by copyrights, is widely accepted. The pirating of software, motion 【M1】______
pictures, and CDs have become big business. At conventions and swap【M2】______
meets, pirating copies of movies and CDs are sold openly. Some of the【M3】______
products are obviously counterfeiting, but many come in sophisticated 【M4】______
packaging, completely with warranty cards. When vendors are willing 【M5】______
to talk, they say they merely want to be compensated for their time and
the cost of materials, or that the software they have copied is in the
public domain.
    Since most of these black market activities are clearly illegal, 【M6】______
many consumers and small-time pirates are proud of their behavior.
They may even think themselves smart for figuring a way to avoid the 【M7】______
"unfair" prices charged by "big corporations." Few people see the
pirating of a new software program or a first-run movie as a threat to
the public good, as they would embezzle from a bank. Similarly, most【M8】______
businesspeople who "borrow" software from another department, even
though they lack of a site license, do not think they are doing anything【M9】______
wrong. No social stigma attaches with their illegal behavior. 【M10】______
【M3】
选项
答案pirating—pirated
