                      SOFTWARE PIRACY

                      Software piracy is the unauthorised copying or stealing of software, movies, music and making
                      these copies available on the Internet. Every software has a license. When we buy a software, we
                      become an authorised user of that software.

                      But, if we make copies of the software and give it to others to use, then it is against the law. There
                      are different types of software piracy including borrowing and installing a copy of the software
                      from someone, installing and selling unauthorised copies of the software, duplicating and selling
                      copyrighted programs and downloading illegal software from the Internet.

                      Following are some tips to avoid software piracy:

                          Do not download any software without license.
                          Register yourself on the company’s official website before using the software.

                      INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

                      The property that arises from human intelligence is called intellectual property. It includes  creations
                      of the mind like books, paintings, music compositions, movies, video games, software, etc.

                      Intellectual Property Rights are the exclusive rights given by the government to the owners of
                      intellectual creations. We can protect our creations by creating copyrights on them.

                      DIGITAL FOOTPRINTS
                      Digital footprints or digital shadow are the traceable activities that we leave behind after surfing
                      the Internet. All the activities performed by us on the Internet are recorded, including:

                          All social media activities on Facebook, Twitter,
                         Instagram, blogs, etc.

                          Personal information
                          Played online games

                      Digital footprints are permanent and can be used by law enforcement agencies to find out the
                      details about the offenders.
