Copy protection, also known as content protection, copy prevention and copy restriction, is any effort designed to prevent the reproduction of software, films, music, and other media, usually for copyright reasons.

Various methods have been devised to prevent reproduction so that companies will gain benefit from each person who obtains an authorized copy of their product.

Unauthorized copying and distribution accounted for $2.4 billion in lost revenue in the United States alone in the 1990s, and is assumed to be causing impact on revenues in the music and the game industry, leading to proposal of stricter copyright laws such as PIPA.

Some methods of copy protection have also led to criticisms because it caused inconvenience for honest consumers, or it secretly installed additional or unwanted software to detect copying activities on the consumer's computer.

Making copy protection effective while protecting consumer rights is still an ongoing problem with media publication.

Homelessness is the condition of people without a permanent dwelling, such as a house or apartment.

People who are homeless are most often unable to acquire and maintain regular, safe, secure and adequate housing.

The legal definition of homeless varies from country to country, or among different jurisdictions in the same country or region.

The term homeless may also include people whose primary night-time residence is in a homeless shelter, a domestic violence shelter, long-term residence in a motel, a vehicle, squatting, cardboard boxes, a tent city, tarpaulins, shanty town structures made of discarded building materials or other ad hoc housing situations.

According to the UK homelessness charity Crisis, a home is not just a physical space: it also provides roots, identity, security, a sense of belonging and a place of emotional wellbeing.

American government homeless enumeration studies also include people who sleep in a public or private place not designed for use as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.

There are a number of organizations who provide help for the homeless.
