SOFTWARE PIRACY

Software piracy


When someone installs and use commercial software without paying for the program  ,it is called “pirating” the software .This name comes from the traditional meaning of the word “pirate ” ,which is a sea-faring criminals that steals and loots  belongings from others .But far from the stereotypical sea pirates ,a software pirate can be anyone who owns a computer .Software piracy is committed by simply downloading or coping a program that a user has not paid for.

Software piracy is the unauthorized coping ,distribution of copyrighted software.This can be done by coping ,downloading ,sharing ,selling or installing multiple copies onto personal work computers.what a lot of people don't realize or don't think about is that when you purchase software,you are actually purchasing a license to use it ,not the actual software.
