Introduction
The issues related to digital piracy are different and involve the making unlawful copy of
media involving the software, digital audio recording, and video recording without the
consent of or compensation to a copyright owner. The issue of piracy pre-dates Internet,
while stealing the contents and sending the contents is made easier by using technologies.
Actually, in present time piracy is considered as one of the most common form of
cybercrime. The digital piracy is considered by computer safety researcher and as well as
public scientist. Additionally, the researcher has measured the extent of digital piracy at both
the personal level and state level.
In the following parts, meaning of digital piracy, its impacts, feasibility of traditional
approaches and post production is discussed and critically examined.
What is digital piracy?
The digital piracy grow out of the computer hacking. The Digital piracy refers to the outline
of online piracy. The digital piracy is the illegal online delivery of copy of copyrighted
materials in the electronic form like software, music, and pictures. The bogus Microsoft
software regularly involves malware, spyware and unfinished codes (Casidy, Lwin and Phau,
2017).
The words piracy and robbery are normally connected with copyright infringement. The real
definition of piracy is "theft or illegal hostility at ocean” but this word is using for centuries
as synonym for act of copyright infringement. Robbery, for the meantime, highlights the
probable industrial or professional harm of contravention to the copyright owners. However,
the copyright is considered as kind of intellectual property, the part of law separate from that,
which envelops mugging or stealing, crimes in regard only to tangible properties. It is not
necessary that the copyright infringement generates the trading losses, and the Supreme Court

of United States ruled in the year 1985 that violation does not simply associate with the
robbery. The similar facts have been established in the case MPAA v. Hotfile (Tjiptono and
Arli, 2016). In the case of MPAA v. Hotfile, the honourable judge Kathleen M.
Williams permitted the action to reject the MPAA the use of terms whose look was first and
foremost derogatory. This list involved the term piracy, the use of which, the action by the
defence specified, provides no court purpose but to misguide and arouse the juries.
Whereas many people may be commit digital piracy, it still does not mean that it is accurate
to conduct. Regrettably, many people consider it for approved that just because it is not
unavailable, it is not required to make payment for it. Even though, the digital piracy is more
forced now through application of the cyber law, it is said by analysts that the danger is still
pretty much out there, with the huge statics of digital piracy number each year (Culiberg, et.
al, 2016).
Further, it is said by some people that the digital piracy is an excellent lesson to the leisure or
business industry to not charge too much people from the user for these produces, and make
them more reasonable within the resources so that people users will really be capable to pay
for what people require. In present time, the individuals have willing more for the paid
contents. The main sharing has provided by music and video streaming service.
Is digital piracy trade?
The digital content piracy is not fair to all. Because of this reason, in present time, cyber
lockers are an ideal tool for trading pirated movie and music files. In recent period, it is for
trade. Various entities propose simple access to buying the goods work over internet. In place
of download of the music at no cost, the person may do the right thing and make a payment
of the minimal figure each month to get right of entry to the complete listing of music. The
Spotify is an illustration, which is making offer of these services. Similar happens for the

Netflix for the pictures. The Amazon Prime and Netflix declared the worldwide expansion in
present time and they are making offer of reasonable plans in the new region (McKenzie,
2017).
Some person validate the piracy hobbies by specifying the facts that the manufacturing studio
or the software company already has a huge bank balances and they do not care if anyone
using their material at free of cost. Such people require to know that the creators want money
to make more contents in the future. If every person would label themselves as “an individual
using the material at free of cost”, then corporations will be bankrupt. For an example, an
individual is copying the pirated movies times after the release. The person will give reason
that movie creators have earned a sufficient amount from movies. They have created profit
and there is no problem to get stuff at free of cost.
Consumption of film or TV shows-
The Post-production is a procedure of photo-shoot, production of film, and cinematography.
It involves the production stages happening after shoot or tape separable program segment.
The traditional post-production has regularly been changed by video edit software, which
operates on the non-linear edit systems.Generally, the audio recording without the
authorisation of matter is always not legal but it can be valid in some conditions. If the
situations require recording of audio and the person will be using equipment in the
permissible way, there are wired microphones and wireless microphones exist to buy. These
will operate in better way that standard created in microphones, which are established in
other camera (Belleflamme and Peitz, 2014).
The most of rules, regulations and laws dealing with video recording privacy issues tend to
permit secretive recordings and observing of video’s activities in most of circumstances
without notification of any of the parties involved. So far, in some cases the courts have
