Problems solved by technology

The growth of digital information transmission worries copyright holders who fear that the new technology threatens their rights because of greater piracy, increased theft of digital works at the information transfer stage and widespread sharing of digital works.
Piracy copying of software, particularly software adapted to run on personal computers, is an extensive problem to software vendors which annually costs them large amounts of money.
On average, the software industry loses about US$11 to US$12 billion in revenue to software piracy annually.
The conventional methods employed to protect software against unauthorized utilization by demanding a password for the installation or operation of a specific computer program or program package, for example, have not provided sufficient security.
Several attempts have already been made to establish arrangements in which simply typing a required password is not sufficient to gain access to a program.
