They have been experiencing problems with employees downloading unlicensed software off of peer-to-peer networks and installing them on company computers. Discuss these challenges with your team.

• Describe at least two successful legislations related to computer security, information privacy, or Internet crime. Did they effectively address the issues? How could they do better ?

Make sure to support your thoughts with resources, citing them in APA style. In your response to others, compare and contrast your ideas with theirs.
