Piracy
Deals with making illegal (or unauthorised) copies of someone else‘s lawfully entitled copyright material.
Making copies of software for personal use or selling the copies for money is software piracy |
Only one copy of a legally bought software program can be made as a backup |
Copying software = breaking the law (whether you get money for it or not) |
