What are the forms of software infringement and piracy?

1.Hard drives are pre-installed with piracy. Vendors, system integrators, or computer vendors pre-install operating systems or some application software for customers in their computers, which is commonly referred to as software pre-installation.

However, if the pre-installed software is not authorized, not obtained from normal sources or even illegally copied by the seller himself, then this constitutes an illegal pre-installation of the software.

2.Online piracy. We often find software that is offered for free or for a fee, and if the software is not legally licensed, it is illegal.

3.User piracy. This is a form of piracy recognized by the industry as bringing greater losses to the development of the industry.

To put it simply, it means that users, especially enterprise users, use other people's software commercially without permission or beyond the scope of permission. For example, if a user purchases a genuine set of software, it means that the user is allowed the right to use the software on a computer.

If the user uses the software on two or more computers, it constitutes infringing use.

Satisfied, thank you!

1. End-user piracy.

This is recognized by the industry as the most costly form of piracy for the development of the group. To put it simply, it means that end users, especially enterprise users, use software without permission or beyond the scope of permission. For example:

When a user purchases a genuine set of software, it means that the user is allowed to use the software on a computer. If the user uses the software on two or more computers, it constitutes infringing use and constitutes end-user piracy.

Second, the hard disk is pre-installed with piracy.

Vendors, system integrators, or computer vendors pre-install operating systems or some application software for customers in their computers, which is commonly referred to as software pre-installation. If the pre-installed software is not authorized, not obtained from normal channels or even illegally copied by the seller himself, it constitutes an illegal pre-installation of the software.

3. Online piracy.

We often find software that is offered or paid for that is illegal if it is not legally licensed. This kind of illegal uploading and ** constitutes online piracy.

Fourth, the street sale of pirated CDs.

This is the most common form of piracy. In particular, some commonly used software is made into a large platter to sell to pedestrians, and this kind of disc packaging is rough and easy to identify. There are often potential safety hazards, and the harm is obvious.
