Today’s technology marketplaces are quickly getting concerned about cybercrime and copyright. Software piracy is simply the unlawful copying and use of technology in any manner not expressly authorized by the owner of the designer’s personal interests, who may be a person, company, or even other entity, as stipulated in the applicable purchase agreement (license). Illegal downloading has grown to be a major worry for many technology organizations as a result of advancements in software design and the Internet. Software theft carries with it incredibly severe consequences for technology companies. Agreements with illegally obtained technology bring in a lot of revenue for pirates. Even though this is commonly the situation, end users and customers do not see it as a critical element since they feel that it is not a severe issue for others. Because of these factors, computer crime has become a significant problem, made even more so by the fast pace of software creation and the abundance of programs on the Internet. This article studied and determined the ratio of pirated software.
