Types of software piracy

Counterfeiting
This type of piracy is the illegal duplication, distribution, and/or sale of copyrighted material with the intent to imitate the copyrighted product. In the case of packaged software, it is common to find counterfeit copies of the compact discs that come with the software programs, as well as related packages, manuals, license agreements, labels, registration cards, and security features.

Internet piracy
Types of software piracy: This occurs when software is downloaded from the Internet. The same purchasing rules apply to online software purchases as they do to those purchased in compact disc format.

End User Piracy
This occurs when an individual reproduces unauthorized copies of software. These include: Using one licensed copy to install a program on multiple computers and copying discs for installation or distribution.

Client-server overuse
Types of software piracy: This type of piracy occurs when too many users on a network are using a central copy of a program at the same time. If you have a local area network and you install programs on the server for use by multiple people, you must make sure that your license gives you the right to do so. If you have more users than the license allows, that’s “overuse.”

Hard Drive Loading
This occurs when a company sells new computers with illegal copies of software loaded onto the hard drives to make the machines more attractive to buy.
