Copyright violation on the internet, also known as “online copyright infringement” or “internet piracy,” refers to the unauthorized use, reproduction, distribution, or display of copyrighted material without the permission of the copyright owner. It occurs when someone uses copyrighted content in a manner that goes beyond the rights granted to them under copyright law.
Examples of copyright violation on the internet include:
Unauthorized File Sharing: Sharing copyrighted music, movies, software, or other digital content through peer-to-peer (“P2P”) networks or file-sharing platforms without the permission of the copyright owner.
