Music Piracy

Music piracy involves the unauthorized copying, sharing, or distribution of music files without purchasing or obtaining proper permission from the rights holders. It often occurs through illegal websites, file-sharing platforms, or peer-to-peer networks. This practice can harm artists, record labels, and the music industry by reducing revenues that fund new music production. While it offers free access to songs, it is illegal and undermines the creative process and fair compensation for creators. Efforts to combat piracy include legal streaming services, digital rights management, and education about intellectual property rights.
