What is software piracy? [3]
Answer:
Software piracy is any attempt to break the license terms of a piece of software. This includes downloading and using a program without paying for it, as well as buying, selling or giving away illegitimate copies of a game or any other piece of software. It could mean extracting code from a program, or modifying it without permission in order to do something that the developers did not wish you to do.
When you buy software, music or films legally, copyright law forbids us from :
- Giving a copy to a friend.
- Making a copy and then selling it.
- Using the software on a network (unless the license allows it, eg it is a business license).
- Renting the software without the permission of the copyright holder.
The practice of copying software is a serious problem in some countries. Copying music, films and software illegally means that there is less money available to pay the writers, developers and artists.
