                     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.
