| | Copyright infringement of software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | As software copyright infringement does not usually involve a deliberate attempt to deprive the software owner of the software, this term is very misleading. | | | CPU Distrib., Inc. ruled that software sales are purchases, not licenses, and resale, including unbundling, is lawful regardless of a contractual prohibition. | | | The copyright infringement of software, also called software piracy, refers to several practices when done without the permission of the copyright holder: |

| | Software Piracy: What You Should Know |
| | Copying software is an act of copyright infringement, and is subject to civil and criminal penalties. | | | All software is copyright-protected, and the copyright is enforceable for 95 years, no matter what. | | | Unless otherwise stated in the software license, the only copy you can legally make is one archival backup of the original installation disks or CD, to be used only if the original ones fail. |

| | OVCR: Policy on Software Piracy |
| | Software acquired by colleges and universities is governed by licenses and contracts which define how and where the software may be legally used by members of the community. | | | Shareware, or "user-supported" software is copyrighted software that the developer encourages you to copy and to distribute to others. | | | Software without a copyright notice is often, but not necessarily, in the public domain. |

| | Software Piracy |
| | Software piracy can be defined as "copying and using commercial software purchased by someone else". | | | Bartz also states that many software companies are reluctant to pursue the educational market due to concerns that several copies of purchased software may lead to millions of copies of illegal software, produced "in the name of educating children" (Parker, 1998). | | | Ironically, many who pirate software are fully aware of the legalities, though they are able to rationalize continuing the practice. |

| | What is software piracy? |
| | Whether software piracy is deliberate or not, it is still illegal and punishable by law. | | | When someone copies software without buying the appropriate number of licenses, it is copyright infringement. | | | There is also no guarantee that the software is secure or will work properly when installed. |

| | Software Piracy |
| | Most software sold is packaged and only one license is included. | | | Software piracy and distribution of counterfeit goods by resellers gives illegal operators unfair competitive advantage vis a vis companies that obey the law. | | | Software theft creates significant problems for all involved and interestingly, only one of these is the obvious risk of legal action. |

| | Software Piracy |
| | The federal copyright law states quite simply that it is illegal to make a copy of software for any reason, except as a back-up, without permission from the copyright holder. | | | If your software came pre-loaded on your hard-disk, check to be sure that you have licensing agreements, and original manuals for all software. | | | Japan has piracy rate of 80 percent and the People's Republic of China uses 94 percent pirated software and only 6 percent is legal. |

| | Software piracy also includes downloading unlicensed software from the Internet and outright software counterfeiting -- the act of deliberately burning an entire original CD onto multiple copies and selling those copies through popular online auction houses. | | | According to a study on software piracy conducted last year for BSA by International Planning and Research Corporation, the United States' piracy rate has dropped two points to 23 percent since 2001. | | | These include misusing license limitations by consumers who overinstall applications -- that is, they install a single-license application on more than one machine, which is typically against a software license policy -- or they swap programs across a network, permitting unlicensed network users to access the software. |
