Piracy has multiple meanings, including the act of robbery at sea and the act of copyright infringement:
Robbery at sea
Piracy is the act of robbery or violence committed by a ship or aircraft crew or passengers against another ship or aircraft. The goal is usually to steal cargo and other valuable goods. The earliest documented instances of piracy were in the 14th century BC.
Copyright infringement
Piracy is also a term used to describe acts of copyright infringement. For example, downloading music from unauthorized sites or peer-to-peer systems is considered piracy.
Here are some other facts about piracy:
Piracy is considered an offense against the law of nations.
Public vessels of any state can seize a pirate ship, try the crew, and confiscate the ship.
The Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA) and the Business Software Alliance (BSA) estimate that up to 40% of installed business software worldwide is illegally copied.
The Stop Online Piracy Act was created to protect intellectual property of content creators.
In 2023, there were nearly 229 billion visits to piracy-related websites

@candycane you can't stop the infinite replication of software lmao; even with DRM and legislation, it won't work
It's as Gaben said, the best way to fight piracy is to offer a better service that competes with the pirates, rather than anti-piracy measures (that only hurt the consumers)
