            SOFTWARE PIRACY

            Software piracy is the unauthorized 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.
