What is Software Piracy ?

Introduction

It is an unauthorized copying, reproduction or usage of software products. Installation of any copy of the software by making its duplicate without paying the cost to the original developer is known as Software Piracy.

Software piracy also harms the local and national economies as scarce sales of legitimate software results in the loss of tax revenue. There are many types of software piracies that are damaging the software developing companies & the end users too. Some of them are:

Soft Loading: It means purchasing a single licence version of the software & then installing the software into several computers resulting in the violation of licence terms.

Software Counterfeiting: It occurs when fake copies of a software are produced in such a way that they appear to be authentic. Counterfeit software is commonly produced by using a CD burner to copy the software and by making photocopies of the manual.

Software overuse: The license for the usages of some software are given for a fixed period of time. Using the software beyond its late date is a kind of piracy.

Online piracy: It typically involves downloading a copy of a software from websites, blogs, etc.

Hard Disk Loading: It involves the installation of an unauthorized copy of a software being sold to a customer. It is often done by the Hardware vendors in order to make the deal more attractive. It virtually costs nothing to the vendors as they usually don’t provide the original CDs, licenses and manuals to the buyers.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence When we prepare a computer in such a way that it can act like a human's intelligence, it is called artificial intelligence says that when we set a program in a machine that it can work like human so where does he go to artificial intelligence . To understand AI it is necessary to understand these 6 words Visual Perception Speech Recognition Decision Making Language Translation Knowledge Reasoning Ability According to John Macatha's father of Artificial Intelligence, It is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines especially intelligent computer programs. Artificial Intelligence is a way to build a computer, a computer-controlled robot, or a software intelligence. Things, just as intelligent people think. A.I is studied by the fact that humans how the brain thinks, and how humans learn, decide, and try to solve a problem work, and then the results of this study based on developing intelligent software and system use. The goal of Artific...
