Scenario 2 A friend of mine told me about a new musician I might like. I checked to see if their music was available streaming but it was not. I went to a file sharing site and downloaded their most recent album without paying. As it turns out, I really like the artist and have since purchased other albums and attended a concert.

Scenario 4 The school blocks sites like YouTube for students but not for teachers. My teacher knows that I am doing work for class that requires YouTube. If I ask, they always type in their password so I can access the video. Chrome asked if I wanted to “remember password” after they left, so now I can access YouTube without asking.

Scenario 5 I really like Game of Thrones. I don’t want to pay for HBO. I use a password from a friend to access their subscription to HBO. In turn, I give my friend my password for HULU. Dragons are awesome!
