Downloading information and applications that you must pay for online is ILLEGAL. Recently in the U.S, Internet providers have enforced stopping these activities by looking at the history of their clients and suing them for alleged copyright infringements. If you are one of these people that download illegally, brace yourselves because Canada's Internet provider Teksavvy is doing the same. Many people download and watch movies, films and do other illegal activities online but most people think that it is fine as a result of continuing these actions for a long time. So you may be wondering who is behind all of these actions, it is none other than the government, they have been hearing thousands of complaints from the companies that are being impacted by these actions. The most impacted businesses are the music and film industries, many people download their songs and movies for free as opposed to buying them.
International Business relates to this because money is an important source for businesses to continue. With downloading for free huge companies such as Paramount and Disney have lost so much profit that could help them become better. It is a shame that most people do this thing all the time but come on, who hasn't downloaded or watched something online illegally even for once? In your opinion is keeping track of our history a good or bad thing?

Online vs Stores (Cyber Monday)
http://www.cbc.ca/player/News/Canada/Saskatchewan/ID/2309737729/
Could Cyber Monday replace shopping in real life for a day? The video by CBC talks about the benefits of shopping online throughout the year and for one day in particular, yes you guessed it, Cyber Monday! Cyber Monday occurs after Black Friday and Thanksgiving where people are able to find good deals on cheap items through online shopping. In the video, Amanda talks about how she benefits from shopping online, stores that are not available in Saskatchewan allow customers to buy their items through online shopping. Cyber Monday is a day for people to get a good deal on items online without having to travel and leave their homes. Don't worry, if you love going to stores and malls, online shopping does not compare with shopping in real life therefore items can still be purchased in real life.
