The distribution of illegally copied materials via the internet is known as data piracy.
Data piracy is the illegal act of reproducing or disseminating copyrighted materials through the internet and gaining financial or other benefits. The material pirated may include computer software, films, music, books, and other digital content.
Piracy has transformed in parallel with the development of the internet, starting with those engaging in it as a form of business, to those doing it as a hobby. The development of file-sharing networks gave a boost to the piracy industry, initially used to distribute pirated music. Later on, other items began to be pirated, including e-books, movies, and software piracy.
