Internet Piracy: Unauthorized
Internet piracy is a form of theft. It is copying of intellectual property in an unauthorized way. It is a major problem for the entertainment and software industries, and usually involves violations of copyright law. Copyright is a legal right that protects creative works from being reproduced, performed, or disseminated without permission of the copyright owner. Essentially, a copyright gives its owner the exclusive right to make copies of the material in question

The respondents of the survey at 75% also believe that people who download illegally should not be brought to justice at a contradicting 25% in favor of the bringing these people to justice.
When asked if they think illegal downloading will ever be stopped, majority at 54% answered that this activity will “Never” be stopped.
With the plan of implementing Anti-Piracy laws such as PIPA (Protect IP Act), 77% didn’t agree of implementing such, with the Canadians at 86% opposes the most.

“There have been about 514 Leap Years since Caesar created it in 45BC. Without the extra day every 4 years, today would be July 28, 2013. Also, the Mayan calendar did not account for leap year…so technically the world should have ended 7 months ago.”
