Software piracy
Software piracy is the unauthorized use or distribution of copyrighted software, including various types such as end user piracy, client-server overuse, and internet piracy. Countries like Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China have the highest rates of software piracy, with significant economic losses to the industry. To combat piracy, manufacturers and organizations encourage reporting through relevant associations and highlight the legal consequences of such actions.
