ManTech 10 - Business and Piracy

Piracy, what is it all about? Some would say "plagiarizing software" or stealing content from an original product and others would term it as "fake". Sir Alain is right because pirated products isn't fake. According to thefreedictionary.com, to pirate is someone who uses another person's words or ideas as if they were his own so pirated is that product of stealing content or idea. In other words, it is acquiring copy of published materials.

Piracy is clearly another case of abusing technology for one's own good but he/she doesn't consider the impact of this action towards others. Legal businesses are slowly going down because of this illegal actions. For me, the problem lies in the government. Our country is still a poor country and it just keeps getting poorer because of graft and corruption. People dont have money to purchase original items so they consider these pirated materials.

The government should work hand in hand with these businesses if they still want more businesses to invest in our country and improve I.T. and fight piracy.
