Chapter 3 Scavenger Hunt

      What I found the easiest about this task was finding and answering the questions. I liked having a partner because you could split the work up and it don't take as long to finish. I would not have wanted to do this alone because it would take twice as long and you wouldn't be able to ask a partner for help. This is a fair assessment of Chapter 3 material because all the questions we had to answer go over and review the material in the chapter.

Limewire was a website that allowed people to get media on other computers and library files. This allowed for people to download free music and music companies and the industry was losing money. In a court settlement Limewire was shut down and they owed $105 million to 13 music firms.
