844832 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online%20piracy | Online piracy | Online piracy, also known as internet piracy, is downloading and distributing copyrighted materials without having permission. The content includes software, music and movies. Internet piracy is illegal in many developed countries. However, it is widely practised due to the ease with which it can be done.
The release of Napster in 1999 caused a rapid boom in the online piracy of movies, television and music. It always had a focus on music in the .MP3 format.
Napster permitted users to share content with peer-to-peer file sharing. It was one of the first mainstream uses of the distribution method. It was made easy for the regular users to get free music. The popular use of Napster was short lived, though. On July 27, 2000, it was ordered shut down by a federal judge. The following year, Napster was shut down.

Both male and female same-sex sexual activity is legal in Peru. However, houses headed by same-sex couples are not eligible for the same legal protections available to opposite-sex couples.
In January 2017, the ex-president Pedro Pablo Kuczynski stabled a rule prohibiting all types of discrimination and hate crimes by sexual orientation. On January 9, 2017, a same-sex couple between a Peruvian citizen and a Mexican citizen started a process to legalize same-sex marriage between those. The 7th Constitutional Court of Lima was in favor of recognizing same-sex marriage, performed on Mexico after. However, the Supreme Court of Peru declined its request.

P2P file sharing allows users to access files, like movies, books, music and games using a P2P software program.
There is an ongoing discussion related to the economic impact of P2P file sharing.
The economic effect of copyright infringement under peer-to-peer file sharing on music has been controversial and hard to determine. Some unofficial studies found that file sharing had a negative impact on overall record sales.
The United States' Motion Picture Association of America said that American studios lost just over $2.373 billion to Internet piracy in 2005. That was about one third of the total cost of movie piracy in the United States. The estimate from the MPAA was doubted by commentators. It was based under the assumption that one download was the equivalent of one lost sale. Downloaders might not buy the movie if downloading was an option.

844880 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C3%B4ichi%20Maeda%20%28film%20director%29 | Yôichi Maeda (film director) | Yôichi Maeda (前田陽一, Maeda Yôichi, December 14, 1934 - May 3, 1998) is a Japanese movie director and screenwriter from Tatsuno, Hyogo Prefecture. He directed 17 movies for Shochiku and three for Toho. The best-known movie he directed is Make Way For The Jaguars from 1968, which became his well known musical comedy movie.
Biography
After graduating from Tatsuno High School and Waseda University School of Letters, Maeda joined the Shochiku Ofuna Film Studio in April 1958. He worked as an assistant director for Yoshishige Yoshida and Minoru Shibuya. In 1964, he made his first feature film debut as a director with Nippon Paradise (starring Yoshiko Kayama, along with Daisuke Katō, Mariko Kaga and Hiroyuki Nagato). Since then, he has been mainly focusing on comedy.
After the decline of theatrical movies, Maeda switches to TV, worked on many television dramas, and co-represented the script-writing office "Ragus" with screenwriter Hideichi Nagahara.
In 1998, he decided to make one last cinematic movie for the studio production "New Karajishi Co., Ltd." for the first time in a while, but he was hospitalized one week after filming it. Maeda died of liver failure on May 3, 1998. He was 63 years old. The filmed "New Karashishi Co., Ltd." was successfully completed and released by director Hideo Nanbu and screenwriter Hidetaka Nagahama, who were studying under director Maeda before. Directors Nanbu and writer Nagahama are credited as "cooperative directors", but they are still collaborated with by Yoichi Maeda.
He directed three movies for Toho with Kigeki migimuke hidari! (1970), Kigeki kinō no teki wa kyō mo teki and Okite koronde mata okite (1971).
In his 1968 musical comedy movie, Make Way For The Jaguars, Maeda used good and sounds like The Beatles vocal harmonies mixed with "Psychotic Reaction" type fuzz guitar and the screen goes trippy with psychedelic prism effects—makes you think The Jaguars must have been "experienced."

Gummo then cuts into a different scene with Tummler in a wrecked car with a girl. They fondle one another. Tummler realizes there is a lump on one of the girl's breast's. Tummler and Solomon then ride down on a hill on bicycles.
Later, Tummler points an air rifle at another cat. Solomon stops him from killing the cat and says it was a housecat. The boys leave. The camera then follows the cat to its owners' house. The cat is owned by three sisters, two are teenagers, the third has not gone through puberty yet.
The movie later cuts to a scene in which two foul-mouthed boys dressed as cowboys destroy things in a junkyard. Bunny Boy comes. The other boys shoot him "dead" using cap guns. Bunny Boy plays dead. The boys curse at him, go through his pockets and remove one of his shows. The boys later get bored of it. Bunny Boy is left on the ground

844963 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full%20employment | Full employment | Full employment is an idea from economics. It means that every person that is able and willing to work can get a job. It does not mean that all people have a job: People who do not have the skills the employers want may still not have a job, because there simply is no role that fits them. This is called structural unemployment. Also, it is very likely that there will be people looking for jobs (called frictional unemployment).
In general, people say there is full employment, if the percentage of people who are able and willing to work, but who do not have a job is below a given rate. In 1945, William Henry Beveridge said there was full employment if there are more jobs than job seekers. He said that an unemployment rate of three percent of frictional (short term) unemployment can be considered full employment.

845142 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorraine%20Bowen | Lorraine Bowen | Lorraine Bowen (born 31 October 1961 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire) is an English singer-songwriter, musician and comedian. She has released seven studio and compilation albums.
Career
Bowen was a member for two bands in the 1980s. The bands were See You in Vegas and The Dinner Ladies. She performed regularly with Billy Bragg on the stage and on record.
In 1990, Bragg encouraged Bowen to start a solo career. Bowen started performing solo shows by the name The Lorraine Bowen Experience. Her act had three songs, a Casio keyboard and an ironing board. Her songs are seen as "quirky", have humor and are often with a sense of tacky. Themes often include food, movie actors (one of her most popular songs is about Julie Christie), mobile phones and fish fingers.
Bowen was a contestant on Britain's Got Talent in May 2015. She sang her own song, "The Crumble Song".

845148 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family%20Guy%20%28season%202%29 | Family Guy (season 2) | The second season of Family Guy aired on Fox from September 23, 1999 to August 1, 2000. This season has 21 episodes. The season premiered with the episode "Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater" and concluded with "Fore, Father".
Family Guy was cancelled after the second season because it did not have good ratings. However, the Fox network let it come back with a third season. After the third season ended, Fox cancelled the show again. After it was cancelled, Family Guy later got high ratings on Adult Swim and had a large number of DVD sales. This made the Fox network ask for more episodes to be made in 2004. Critics of television gave positive reviews of the season. One critic on DVD Talk thought it was "witty" and "hilarious" and said Family Guy was "unfortunately" cancelled. All of the episodes from the first and second season were put on DVD for Region 1 on April 15, 2003.

845169 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les%20Fleurs%20du%20mal | Les Fleurs du mal | Les Fleurs du Mal is a collection of poems, by Charles Baudelaire. It was published between 1857 and 1868, there are three versions of the work. The first version of the book was forbidden, because it was seen to be against decency laws of the time. In total, six poems were forbidden. The poems in Les Fleurs du mal frequently break with tradition: they use suggestive images and unusual forms. The poems deal with themes relating to decadence and eroticism, particularly focusing on suffering and its relationship to the original sin, disgust toward evil and oneself, obsession with death, and aspiration toward an ideal world. Les Fleurs du mal was highly influential toward several notable French poets, including Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, and Stéphane Mallarmé.

845195 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Elephant%20Whisperer%20%28book%29 | The Elephant Whisperer (book) | The Elephant Whisperer: My Life with the Herd in the African Wild is a book by Lawrence Anthony and Graham Spence about Anthony's own life. It was published in 2009, but it is about things that happened before 2003. Sidgwick & Jackson Ltd. published it. It is about a game preserve in South Africa called Thula Thula where a herd of elephants come to live.
Plot
Lawrence Anthony tells the reader about elephants who came to live at Thula Thula in 1999. They had been at a different game preserve, but they learned how to break through the electric fence and escape. This was bad because they ate people's crops and because any human who wanted to could kill them. The oldest elephant was shot by humans.
Usually, African game wardens did not talk to or go near the elephants because this can change their natural behavior. But these elephants were so angry at and afraid of humans that Anthony decided to do something different. He decided to make friends with them so they would not hate humans. In the book, he tells the reader how he became friends with the elephants, caught poachers, made deals with African humans who lived nearby, for example the Zulu king and chiefs, took care of a sick baby elephant, and ran the game preserve.
Critical response
The audiobook recording of The Elephant Whisperer won an Audie Award for best biography or memoir.
