What is Piracy?
One would find   her/himself asking this question, as a lot of people are directly or indirectly involve in piracy, not realizing they are supporting crime!!!! Lend me an ear I shall enlighten you about Piracy.

Piracy is theft!!!!! Yes stealing! Therefore it's a crime!!!!! It is defined as  “the unauthorized reproduction or use of a copyrighted book, recording, television program, film etc” (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) defines it as the deliberate infringement of copyright on a commercial scale”.

Time has changed the world is evolving and  so is technology,  this means that people find themselves trying to catch up, which  sees them  listening to music via their smart phones, iPods, tablets and laptops rather than their Hi-Fi’s and stereos.  You would want to ask yourself this question, am I a thief? Well are you thief? Yes you! You might stumble to answer this question as I have said before some are indirectly involved in piracy. Well if you have an iPod will lots of tunes that you never paid for consider yourself a thief? Why? Simple because the tunes you listen to everyday do not belong to you and you ever paid for them. And you might have obtained them illegally not realizing you are doing so. The only time one can claim something is when they have purchased it and it legally belongs to them. So how many tunes in your iPod have you paid for? Well now you know so STOP PIRACY and be original!
