Online Piracy

Online piracy refers to the illegal copying, sharing, or downloading of copyrighted content such as movies, music, software, or books without permission from the rights holders. It often involves accessing or distributing content through unauthorized websites, file-sharing networks, or streaming platforms. This activity undermines creators' ability to earn revenue and can impact industries, consumers, and innovation. While it can sometimes appear as free access to popular media, online piracy is considered a violation of copyright laws and can lead to legal consequences. It’s different from legal sharing, as it bypasses licensing agreements and intellectual property rights.
