Software Piracy : Introduction
• Software Piracy is the unauthorized copying or distribution of copyrighted software
• Can be done by copying, downloading, sharing, selling, or installing multiple copies onto personal or work computers
• Purchasing software = a license to use it, not the actual software
• Making more copies of the software than the license permits = Piracy

Q & A
1. In this Piracy inhabited market, are the companies also getting benefited or involved?
2. Open Source – an unrivalled solution or a potent trigger to Piracy?
• Free Redistribution• Source Code• No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups• No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor• Distribution of License • License Must Not Restrict Other Software • License Must Not Be Specific to a Product
