What is Piracy

Chapter 143
Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, Third Edition
The act of illegally using, copying or distributing software without purchasing the software or having the legal rights. The majority of software purchased today is purchased as a one-site license, meaning that only one computer may have that software installed on it at one time. Copying software to multiple computers or sharing it with friends without multiple licenses is illegal and is considered software piracy.
