ABOUT SOFTWARE PIRACY

copying and using commercial software purchased by

someone else. One purchase software, he is actually purchasing a

license to use it, not the actual software.

loaning CDs, downloading or distributing pirated software

from the Internet, or buying a single software programand then installing it

-copyright infringement => software piracy

HISTORY OF SOFTWARE PIRACY

The history of software piracy dates back almost to theinvention of the consumer computer itself, MITS altair8800 by Ed Roberts in 1975.

Bill Gates and Paul Allen persuaded Roberts to licenseBASIC, a programming language from them.

They used to invite people to see the low pricedcomputer running various programs.

Someone then borrowed one of the paper tapes lyingaround.

FIRSTSOFTWAREPIRACY

Homebrew member Dan Sokol ; after

somehow obtaining a pre-market tape of the

interpreter, he made 25 copies and distributed

them at the next Homebrew meeting, urging

recipients to make more copies. Gatesresponded in 1976 with a strongly

worded Open Letter to Hobbyists that

accused the copiers of theftand declared that

he could not continue developing computersoftware that people did not pay for.

TYPES OF SOFTWARE PIRACY

1. Soft Lifting

2. Hard Disk Loading

3. Renting

4. OEM Unbundling

5. Counterfeiting

6. Online Piracy

http://ashra

fsau.blogspot.in/


11/54

TYPES CONTINUED

1. Soft Lifting

means sharing a program with someone who is notauthorized by the license agreement to use it.

Also known as soft loading.A common form of soft lifting involves purchasing a single

licensed copy of software and then loading the softwareonto several computers

http://ashra

fsau.blogspot.in/


12/54

TYPES CONTINUED

2. Hard Disk Loading

Often committed by hardware dealers

this form of piracy involves loading an unauthorized copy

of software onto a computer being sold to the end user.

To attract customers

http://ashra

fsau.blogspot.in/


13/54

TYPES CONTINUED

3. Renting

Renting involves someone renting out a copy of softwarefor temporary use, without the permission of the copyrightholder.

The practice, similar to that of renting a video fromBlockbuster, violates the license agreement of software.

http://ashra

fsau.blogspot.in/


14/54

TYPES CONTINUED

4. OEM Unbundling

means selling stand-alone software originally meant to beincluded with a specific accompanying product.

An example of this form of piracy is someone providingdrivers to a specific printer without authorization.

http://ashra

fsau.blogspot.in/


15/54

TYPES CONTINUED

5. Counterfeiting

means producing fake copies of software, making it lookauthentic.

This involves providing the box, CDs, and manuals, alldesigned to look as much like the original product aspossible.

6. Online Piracy

The fastest-growing form of piracy is Internet piracy.

there are hundreds of thousands of "warez" sitesproviding unlimited downloads to any user.

3. Subject to raid

Companies can also be subject to raids by the SIIA

(Software & Information Industry Association).

An informant can initiate the process.

26/54

EFFECTS ON USERS

4. Unusual sufferings

copy protection can create a nightmare for users.

Most users hate dongles for a variety of reasons. Dongles canbe troublesome to install and use since they often require aspecial hardware driver for dongles.

each protected program requires an additional dongle, whichcauses an unwieldy pile of connected dongles on the back of

the PC.

Usually no manuals.

YES.

Indirectly piracy makes manpower intelligent ofusing its software.

A study finds that reducing the piracy rate for PCsoftware by 10 percentage points in four years wouldcreate $142 billion in new economic activity more than80 percent accruing to local industries .

while adding nearly 500,000 new high-tech jobs andgenerating roughly $32 billion in new tax revenues.

More than one third of adult Internet users say they have downloadedcommercial software online without paying for all the copies they made.

(Source: Quantifying Online Downloading of Unlicensed Software Survey of Internet Users, IPSOS Public Affairs, May 2002)

25% of users who download software say they never pay for it.(Source: IPSOS, May 2002)

Last year, piracy cost the software industry an estimated $11 billion.(Source: 2009 Global Software Piracy Report, International Planning

The loss to the economy has significant impact, including more than111,000 jobs lost, $5.6 billion in lost wages and more than $1.5 billion inlost tax revenue. (Source: 2001 State Software Piracy Study,International Planning and Research Corp., October 2002)

HOW TO REDUCE IT(1)

1. Increase Public Education and Awareness

2. Implement the WIPO Copyright Treaty

3. Create Strong and Workable Enforcement

Mechanisms as Required by TRIPS(trade-related

aspects of intellectual property rights)

4. Step Up Enforcement with Dedicated Resources

5. Lead by example

HOW TO REDUCE IT(2)

HOW TO REDUCE IT(2)

1. Software Protection: Registration Codes

2. Online Activation

3. Media Protection

One popular method involves using custom software

drivers to deny copying of the media. Other methods

introduce random errors into the media so copying

doesnt work.

When buying software, it is necessary to be sureto getgenuine disks, manuals and license documentation.

When one purchases illegal or counterfeit copies, hismoney goes straight into the pockets of software pirates .

Buy from an authorized dealer Checkthe prices and ask for itemized quotations and

receipts

Callthe software publisher

giving the creator of an original work, exclusive right to it.

Generally, it is "the right to copy", but also gives the

copyright holder the right to be credited for the work, to

determine who may adapt the work to other forms.

Its true that copyrights ultimate beneficiary is the public.

But the immediate beneficiary is creators.

THE FUTURE OF SP

CD checks, serial numbers, dongles, although this

technology decreases the rate of piracy, it does not inhibitit.

With time any protection routine can be understood and

defeated, they are by no means failsafe.

No longer are developers keen to ship a completely

standalone version of their flagship product.

Instead, they are choosing a service-based, online

model. The idea is simple. If the user never has the game

in its entirety, it cannot be replicated or pirated.

CONCLUSION

Software Piracy is immoral.

Software piracy is theft of intellectual property.

Developers invest time and money to develop a product

and deserve to make a fair profit, so they can develop

new products in future.

the damage done to the industry and legitimate end

users does not balance the few advantages that piracy

does have.
