[Info] Introduction !

Before we head in a more detail about Internet piracy, let me talk about what is internet piracy. Internet piracy, the word "piracy", came from the word "pirate", which means people that who snatch things from people's belonging. Piracy here means using certain data that had already owned by someone without any permission. Of course, Internet has many piracy cases in it, The most common thing about a internet piracy case is already happening in our daily life, such as download musics or movies from certain website without buying the original CD or watch at cinema. These are piracy!!

This type of piracy is in one of three major types that involve internet piracy, as we use the data that is protected by copyright. Some other examples for this are essay and software. Second type of Internet piracy involved inventions of people's, which protected by patent law. Last but not least, third type is involving brand-name products, which is protected by trademarks. A more specific explanation about copyright, patent law and trademarks is they have a legal right of protected from being reuse, reproduced, performed, or disseminated without the permission of the owner. Piracy is a major problem especially in this century, which internet and technology are all about.

Why we wanted to download these video/movie/ from website instead of going into cinema to watch the movie, and those video might had a chance of damaging our computer, but why? The reason is very simple, the cost is free. We watch a movie, have to go to cinema and buying ticket, wasting time and money; but, download from website is another thing, we can download the video and we can do something else in the time, that is a great advantage. It's almost impossible to claim " I'm not doing any illegally with piracy issue", but the only thing we can do is to reduce the usage of these website.
