    01
    The History of
    Software Piracy
    The ● Software piracy’s origins are very innocent
    in nature.
    History of ● Before the widespread use of the Internet,
    and even before laptops and CDs, there
    Software were computer geeks.
    ● Computer clubs soon became “swap
    Piracy meets” where computer geeks could
    share applications that they had obtained
    from other computer clubs.
    Geek 1: Man, I wish I had a compiler, I
    would love to make my own applications, I
    The want to make something I call a
    "Spreadsheet", so I can do my accounts
    History of with, I think it will be really handy.
    Geek 2: My company just bought a copy of
    Software that compiler, ill copy the disk and bring it
    next month for you.
    Piracy Geek 1: Oh wow man thanks, I have a copy
    of Edit the editor v1, i’ll swap you if you
    like.
    Geek 2: Wicked, I need an editor, it’s a deal!
    ● Experimentation with software and the
    availability of software piracy was
    essential to the success of computers
    The and software
    ● Technology progressed, and what had
    History of once been computer geeks trading
    software had become a large-scale
    Software epidemic—a world-wide piracy movement.
    Piracy ● In late 1989, the U.S Patent Office began
    to issue patents to software developers,
    giving birth to the notion that all digital
    media is the intellectual property of the
    author
    Piracy is Illegal?

    02
    Software
    Piracy and the
    Law
    ● Software piracy is considered organized crime
    and is classified as a federal offense.
    Software ● The most common tactic used by law
    enforcement agencies to bring down warez

    ● Law officials are not stupid; they know warez
    and groups exist and how they function.
    the Law ● All evidence from the hardware of the site is
    credible in court.
    ● Server logs upload statistics and releases that
    can all be used in court.

    Ethical
    Perspective
    Case Study
    - 27 year old David Campbell . He operated a large number
    of offered pirated software for download. He sold illegal and
    sold software which is downloadable initially from a site.
    And he took that, and he called it backup software. And
    people were able to go in, purchase the software and
    download it from a server.

    - David and his partners offered individuals the opportunity


    to download the software from his website or purchase both
    the download and CD. David burned the software on a CD-R
    and then mail it to the unsuspecting consumer. Between
    early 2016 and September 2017, David and his partners sold
    a combined retail value of $ 2,500,000.
    Kantianism
    - “Everyone should sell and offer pirated softwares”
    - Therefore, software companies shouldn’t sell products
    anymore or just sell free products.
    - David violated the legal rights of the software
    companies who own the copyright to make extra
    revenue to him and partners
    Utilitarianism
    - The principle harm by David action in violating the legal
    right of the owner of the copyright. Moreover, a fine of
    $250,000 and 3 years of supervised release by his
    action.
    - According to Rule Utilitarianism, people are affected
    more heavily due to the piracy.
    Social Contract
    - If everyone would sell and offer the pirated software like
    David, and no laws there that incriminate copyright violation,
    all the software companies would most likely be bankrupt
    that would cause the unemployment rate to increase,
    affecting the community negatively
    - Also, a potential idea could be lost due to the fact that the
    inventor has no chance to see a promising future in this
    business.
    04
    Future of
    Software
    Piracy
    - With time, any protection routine can be understood
    and defeated, and although anti-piracy software helps

    Future -
    protect digital assets, they are by no means failsafe
    However, Technology is evolving and key mind shifts

    of in the design of games and applications are making


    the life of software pirates increasingly hard.

    Softwar - Software piracy being able to take one copy and


    replicate it flawlessly using a computer.

    ePiracy - No matter how many layers of protection you wrap


    your software in, you are still trusting user’s not to
    copy or distribute it
