Preventing Piracy: A Guide On How To Avoid Pirate Activities

+

Foreword

+

I am a man who has despised piracy and the works of copyright thieves my entire life. As soon as I could + understand what copyright was, I became a massive proponent for it and for what it stand for: Order, a + bullwark against those who'd stoop so low as to steal someone else's idea and pawn it off as their own. + I can not STAND pirates, I get physically violent around them, my family has banned any mention of pirates + or pirate adjacent activities in my presence! Yet however much I hate pirates, I understand that some people + simply do not know better; some are ignorant to the damage they're doing by downloading a game or a book for + free. Seeking to better your knowledge is no excuse, even for those who are trying to learn about the law itself! + Yet again, it is understandable that some people may not truly grasp the gravity of their actions. That's what + this guide is for, for those who don't know how to avoid piracy!
+
+ In this guide on avoiding piracy, I endeavour to teach you, the reader, on how to spot piracy in the wild, + how to resist the siren call of free stuff, and the most common / popular services currently used in modern + copyright theft. +

+

What IS Piracy Anyway?

+

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines piracy as:

+
+ ... The unauthorized use of another's production, invention, or conception especially in infringement of a copyright +
+

While the Cambridge Dictionary defines piracy as:

+
+ ... The act of illegally copying computer programs, recordings, films, etc. to sell them at much cheaper prices +
+

Now these definitions, while succinct, are insufficient for truly understanding what piracy is and what it entails. + What does it mean to "illegally" copy a piece of media, or to "infringe" on copyright? Maybe Wikipedia's definition + of piracy is better +

+
+ Copyright infringement (at times referred to as piracy) is the use of works protected by copyright without + permission for a usage where such permission is required, thereby infringing certain exclusive rights granted + to the copyright holder, such as the right to reproduce, distribute, display or perform the protected work, + or to make derivative works. The copyright holder is typically the work's creator, or a publisher or other + business to whom copyright has been assigned. Copyright holders routinely invoke legal and technological + measures to prevent and penalize copyright infringement +
+

Ok now we can work with this. Summarizing, piracy -- or copyright infringement -- is when someone does something to a + copyrighted work without permission, like making a copy and redistributing it. This is, for the most part, the extent + of piracy for most internet users: the copying and redistribution of a copyrighted work. The actual details of real + copyright law are a bit too verbose and unnecessarily fine-grained for this guide, so I'll spare you the detail.
+
+ TL:DR - Piracy is the unauthorized copying and redistribution of a copyrighted material +

+

But Why Do People Pirate?

+

+ People pirate for a multitude of reasons, all unacceptable, but some more "valid" than others. Some of these reasons + include:

+ Again, none of these reasons are valid excuses to break the law: +
