Piracy on the High C’s
July 18, 2011 – 12:16 pmWhen it comes to stealing software many people often look at it as they are just borrowing from a friend or co-worker. The truth is that you might be getting software that has been pirated and passed down from computer to computer. Piracy on the High C’s is very dangerous. This is illegal to do and you are putting your computer at risk.
Software that has a virus or worm will destroy your computer. You will find that it costs more money to replace an infected computer than it does to buy your software package from a legitimate source. Those who download, sell, or share software packages are breaking the law. This practice could result in heavy fines and/or jail time. It is unlawful for anyone to duplicate copyrighted software.
People often believe because they buy a software package that they own the right to install it on as many Computers is, as they like but the truth is that it is unlawful. This is still considered a form of Computer Piracy. When you use a software package for one of your Computer’s then you need to get permission from the software company before you can use it on multiple computers. The software companies will normally supply you with a code key that will permit you to use their software package on more than one computer.
When you are, a business and need to have a software package on multiple computers you can get permission. Business people usually do not pirate their software packages; most piracy is done on VPN game packages. The people who make copies of software that is used to play games so that they can sell it for a profit are known as pirates. These pirates commit Piracy on the High Cs. The reason why we call them that is because when they copy the software packages they become contaminated with a virus.
The virus will infect your Computer, which damages the PC. You are now no longer too able to use your system. The most commonly pirated software is the VPN because it is used for the gamers. The problem arises with the various different types of virus’s that are hidden in the software package. The pirated software may be passed down to many different people before it is taken out of circulation. This is still illegal act and most certainly Piracy on the High Cs.
