                 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 software, we

                 become authorised users 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 a license.

                      Register yourself on the company’s official website before using the software.
