			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some people are so desperate to have a child of their own, they will go to any lengths. They often do this out of desperation, only after they have exhausted all other means of conceiving a child or adopting a child legally. They often turn to the black market, where babies are sold at premium prices because they are a commodity in high demand.</p>
<p><span id="more-702"></span></p>
<p>The people who sell babies on the black market are called baby brokers. While such dealings aren&#8217;t as well known today as in the past, they still take place. Black market babies were often easy for brokers to find in the 1940&#8217;s, 1950&#8217;s, and 1960&#8217;s. Families were disgraced by young girls who were not married conceiving a child. The girls were often sent away until after the baby was born. These girls were either told the baby had died during childbirth or they were given up for adoption.</p>
<p>In most cases, the young girls were housed together and well cared for. They got prenatal care and were schooled so that they wouldn&#8217;t fall behind when they returned home after the baby was born. However, they weren&#8217;t given accurate information regarding the names of the places they stayed or even the adults who took care of them. It is believed the brokers of these black market babies turned heavy profits. They were able to charge room and board from the parents of the young girls as well as sell the babies for very high prices.</p>
<p>It has been very hard for children who were sold on the black market to find their true parents because in many cases the information on the birth certificates were falsified. This is unfortunate for those who want to find their birth families, especially if they suffer from genetic health disorders. It has also been very difficult for those young mothers who did not want to give up their child, or who were told their baby had died when in fact they knew it was a lie.</p>
<p>It is believed black market baby brokering still takes place in some areas. While it is more acceptable in our society for unwed women to bare a child, many of them don&#8217;t have the resources to take care of a child on their own. They may choose to sell their child to the broker who in turn sells it to parents so desperate for a child that they will pay any price that the broker sets.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The music and movie industry is bilked out of millions of dollars every year because people have found ways to download music and movies from their computers. Instead of using them just for their own private collection, they make copies of them, called burning CD&#8217;s and sell them. Even if they only sell them for $5 or $10, they are making a huge profit. The quality is often good enough that people are willing to pay it. In most cases it saves them a great deal of money, and they can get new release movies before they come out on the market.</p>
<p><span id="more-701"></span></p>
<p>Piracy is an illegal act, as it violates copyright regulations. You can be fined or face criminal charges if you are caught with items you illegally sold or you illegally purchased. The laws regarding piracy have gotten tighter. In some jurisdictions, it is considered a violation of copyright regulations if you purchase music or a movie legally and then make a copy and give it to someone instead of selling it to them. This is because it is viewed as still keeping that individual from paying for something they would have if the illegal act had not taken place.</p>
<p>Piracy has began to include software with the unbelievable amount of people who are accessing the internet. To prevent this, many software companies have started using long serial numbers and codes. You have to use this code to activate your software. That activation code is stored in a database so it won&#8217;t do you any good to sell the software to someone else. The codes are very long to prevent hackers from being able to download and access free software.</p>
<p>In the end, piracy just costs the consumer more money. Making movies, music, and software is very expensive. The actors, musicians, and software designers demand large amounts of money for their productions, and the overhead is unbelievable. The consumer will find movie tickets to increase and the cost of a movie or CD to jump by a dollar or more per copy. Software will become more expensive to those who do pay for it to help compensate for those who have been accessing it for free.</p>
<p>You can do your part to prevent piracy by only using the music, movies, and software that you purchase for your own individual use. If you know someone who is engaging in piracy, contact the local authorities. While it may not prevent them from returning to the act, it may discourage them or at least result in cut backs. Remember, as a consumer you end up paying for what they are profiting.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The black market is known for selling items illegally. The biggest known black market scandal involved a health care professional named Ruby Hightower. Under the pretense of a legitimate business called the Hightower Health Home located in Texarkana, she was to be caring for the elderly. She was also involved in the illegal sell of babies during the 1950&#8217;s. The going rate for a health infant was $500 in cash.</p>
<p><span id="more-700"></span></p>
<p>It is believed that Ruby Hightower offered young women a safe place to stay while they had their baby. During that time, it was not socially accepted for unwed girls to be pregnant. Some were sent to Hightower by their parents. Others were kicked out of their homes and came to her because they had no place to go. Women who had their baby at Hightower Health Home say they were treated respectfully there and thought Hightower was going to find their child a good set of parents to adopt them.</p>
<p>While the people who purchased these babies did indeed want to raise a child, they were either unable to adopt one legally or were tired of waiting for it to happen. Many of the women were told their child had gone to a good home, and consented to the adoption. Other girls who were more hesitant were informed that the baby had died during  birth.</p>
<p> It is now known that many of those babies were alive and sold. This was discovered when young women came forward to say they were sure their baby was born alive, but they were told it was dead at birth. A court order was issued to exhume the babies, and all of the caskets were found to be empty.</p>
<p>However, Hightower contended until her death that she did nothing wrong. She provided these young girls with an opportunity to return to their life without scandal. She also believed she did what was right for society. She felt there was nothing wrong with giving a baby to a couple who would love it and be able to provide for it rather than allowing the child to live a life of poverty.</p>
<p>Many adopted children continue to search for their birth origin, and have found the trail to lead to Ruby Hightower. She is believed to be responsible for thousands of black market dealings, even with high profile officials who were looking to have children.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The black market is a term used to describe illegal trading that takes place between buyers and sellers. It is often for items that are not available from other sources, resulting in a premium price being charged. All money exchanges are done in cash to eliminate the chances of a paper trail leading to trouble for those involved.</p>
<p><span id="more-699"></span></p>
<p>There are many items bought and sold on the black market. Babies are a precious item often sold on the black market. With the technology we have today, it is very simple to make a birth certificate that looks authentic. This is a path some people choose to take if they have not been able to conceive or adopt a child through other means.</p>
<p>The black market is known for selling fake documentation and identification. These items include birth certificates, social security cards, passports, photo ID&#8217;s, citizenship documentation, and Visas. Many immigrants who come to the US purchase fake documentation on the black market so that they can secure employment here.</p>
<p>Drugs are the most common type of item sold on the black market. This includes both street drugs and prescription drugs. Some people have become addicted to pain killers so they turn to the black market for them because their doctor will no longer write a prescription for them.</p>
<p>Weight loss drugs are also very popular on the black market because it can be difficult to get a prescription for them. The black market also offers weight loss products that are more potent and include ingredients that have been banned in the US including ephedrine.</p>
<p>Guns and other types of weapons are commonly bought and sold on the black market. They may be guns and weapons that are illegal to have or the person making the purchase is unable to legally purchase them due to a criminal background.</p>
<p>Prostitution is considered by some to be part of the black market because it is illegal. It also involves the buying and selling of sex where the seller doesn&#8217;t claim income that they earn or pay income taxes on it.</p>
<p>It may sound funny, but tobacco products are also sold on the black market. This is mainly done so that they seller doesn&#8217;t have to pay taxes on them or claim income that they earn. This is the one item on the black market that can be purchased for much less. After all, it is fairly simple to purchase cigarettes and other tobacco products, even for those who are underage.</p>
