1. File-sharing, bitTorrent, and YouTube create a state of legal anarchy, where celebrities can't easily protect their intellectual property rights.
2. -Technology was once the exclusive possession of record companies and movie studios, thus enriching the celebs; but now technology is in the hands of the people and artists thanks to market technology, threatening celebrities with competition from independent artists (internet radio, iTunes).
4. The media is constantly digging up new celebrity sex tapes home videos filmed using the latest high-tech home camera equipment. (And you thought celebrities had enough on-screen time at the office...)
5. Hackers have discovered that while most celebrities take care in keeping their personal information private, it doesn't necessary mean that employees working for these high-tech companies do the same.
