General fiction is used interchangeably with the term popular fiction, and generally distinguished from literary fiction. But it is a "specific settings, roles, events, and values that define individual genres and their subgenres." These conventions, always fluid, are usually implicit, but sometimes are made into explicit requirements by publishers of fiction as a guide to authors seeking publication.
Screen writers have to ensure that their stories conform to the guidelines---the closer the conformity, the greater their likelihood of being published. The publisher, for its part, is trying to meet the desires of its readers, who often have strong and specific expectations of the publisher's stories.
Indeed, Writers, publishers, marketers, booksellers, libraries, academics, critics, and even readers all may have different ways of classifying fiction, and any of these classifications might be termed a genre.

What was the purpose of the Atlantic Slave Trade?
There wasn't a real benifit looking back but when it was around people were in it for the goods that they got for trading the slaves, like sugar for the british and guns for the africans plus workers "slaves" for the americans.
There was a benefit. A benefit for the Europeans who took part and for their Economies as well as their descendants. Slaves were used to build infrastructure, in commercial farms, in European house-holds as servants, maids, cooks, nannies etc. There was a real benefit for Europeans but none for the slaves. Tate and Lyle and other Companies benefited directly from the Trade and still do today. So did Lloyds TSB who were under-writers for the slave ships. There was trade among Europeans and local people but as the demand grew Europeans resorted to violence to get the slaves. Slavery in itself is common in Africa but nothing as cruel and inhumane as the Europeans and Capitalism made it. European Scienctists classified Africans as sub-human and that was justification enough for such brutal behaviour towards them. However, since then Science has re-adjusted it's view...

and
c) Bootlegging (i.e., pirating software), which forces the company to make a profit on fewer programs sold (fewer programs are sold because some people pirate the software or purchase pirated versions of the software instead of purchasing it).
