Software Piracy

Software piracy refers to the illegal act of copying genuine software
and selling its unauthorised copies. Often, software companies create
programs intended for single users, but these programs are cracked
and sold illegally in the aftermarket. This is a significant issue, as the
developers who create the software are not receiving the payment
they deserve for their hard work.

Steps to Stop Software Piracy

To avoid software piracy, the following measures should be taken:
 Always purchase legal software from reputed vendors or directly from the official website.
 When buying, ensure you check for license documentation, the original disc and other relevant
materials.
 Never copy software and distribute it to employees or friends. Encourage others to buy original
software.

 Verify the serial number or activation keys provided and avoid any discrepancies.
 Once the software is purchased, register it immediately to prevent others from using the serial
number or activation keys.
