	Commerce raiding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Commerce raiding or guerre de course is a naval strategy of attacking an opponent's commercial shipping rather than contending for control of the seas with its naval forces.
		Usually, commerce raiding is chosen by the weaker naval power who has little chance to succeed against the naval forces of its opponent.
		During the American Civil War, the Confederacy operated a fleet of privateers and naval commerce raiders.

		Such commerce raiding is economic warfare, aimed at going beyond conventional operations and tactics to erode the other side's means and will to carry on hostilities, similar in function to strategic bombing, but anticipating it by centuries.
		Commerce raiding has been crucial to the development of naval warfare, and intimately tied to the development of strategy and technology.
		For all the resources and attention devoted to it, surface raiding was seldom a decisive weapon, with the only readily apparent case of it attaining such status being the destruction of the Netherlands as a great power at the dawn of the eighteenth century.

		Unfortunately, the benefits of electronic commerce are threatened by the impulses of greedy elected officials to regulate and tax.
		Electronic commerce is changing daily in scope and scale: in the way the industry is structured, the ways information is formatted and transmitted, the ways in which exchanges are created and financed, and the ways in which privacy is protected.
		Electronic commerce empowers consumers to take advantage of competitive tax rates in other jurisdictions and thus serves as a necessary constraint on excessive government.

		The topic of commerce warfare in the German navy deserves a greater degree of coverage than it has received from scholars because of its importance in later debates regarding the German navy.

		Thus, if a company has a high attrition rate and faces more than its fair share of raiding problems, the first step it should take is to identify and correct its own shortcomings rather than try to pin the problem on rogue distributors.
		Thus, when a large downline is involved in a raiding case, a company will view a representation that the information was obtained properly with extreme skepticism.

		Last December, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals barred the U.S. Department of Justice from raiding, arresting, or prosecuting two California medical marijuana patients and their caregivers.
		The court held that the federal government had overstepped its constitutional authority in raiding patients whose medical marijuana activities were noncommercial and did not cross state lines.
		The ruling stated that "cultivation, possession, and use of marijuana for medicinal purposes and not for exchange or distribution is not properly characterized as commercial or economic activity" and is thus outside federal jurisdiction.

	Technology News: Storage: Corporate RAIDing on Rise in Storage Arena
		"RAID is a way to increase data availability by striping files across multiple disk drives and adding redundant bits to allow the data to be recovered in case one [or more] disk drives fails during operation," Forrester Research principal analyst Bob Zimmerman told the E-Commerce Times.
		RAID 1 uses mirroring, in which data is encoded on at least two sets of drives.
		In contrast, the RAID 3 standard uses an odd number of disks over which data is striped and then employs an extra drive to store the error correction, or "parity" data.

		Under these circumstances, and with an increasing share of British imports being carried in "neutral bottoms" there was at least the beginnings of an argument that maintained that the threat of commerce raiding may be exaggerated.
