1. List as many reasons as you can to explain why the movie is named Pirates of the Silicon Valley (use examples). Remember that the Silicon Valley is an area in California where most technology companies have their main headquarters

The movie "pirates of the silicon valley" is named like this due to the reference made to the idea of piracy (the idea of stealing and attaking as they fight to be the best or to make a proffit), as the question says, the silicon valley is an area in california where most computer companies had their headquarters, this is the main idea of computer companies facing each others to have control over te market (Apple vs. IBM and the slow and patient rise of Bill Gates/ Microsoft). Now a days apple industry have its principal offices.

In the movie there is a direct reference when Bill Gates and his partners (Microsoft) go to apple´s main headquarters and they saw a pirate flag on the outside of the building. Another example is when Steve Jobs start talking with one of his empleoyies and as he make preasure on him in front of Bill Gates, he repply that he was a pirate (that he would rather be a pirate than join the army), due to this Steve Jobs thought of that as loyalty. joining this two facts and also the fact that when steve jobs and Bill Gates are talking they said that they were "the artist of silicon" its a great impulse to put together the two ideas, the silicon artist that stole each others ideas, "the pirates of silicon valley"

Another example is when both (Bill Gates and Steve Jobs) commented that the great artist still; another could be that Bill Gates said to Steve Jobs, that he wasn´t stilling from him, but actualy he was, Bill was puting windows in all the prototipes of Steve Jobs computers.

another reason can be that, at the beginnig, microsoft and apple were just pirate companies this means that they stolled the ideas of another industries, that make them to work without any award, in the case of apple, on a garage. Both companies apple and windows stoll many ideas of big famous computer industries, they take the best idea and the best new tecnology that any computer of this big industry have and they introduce it in its devices and in many cases they modificate that product making it better than the original
