There are several steps you can take to reduce the risk of being found liable for copyright infringement when using unlicensed software or content. First, it’s important to understand exactly what copyright protects, as not all uses of protected material are covered by copyright laws. Second, be sure to only use small amounts of content in order to minimize liability. Third, get permission from the rights holder if you wish to make extensive use of their material. Fourth, respect any technological restrictions that have been built into the content; most copying prevention measures will be ignored by users if they can easily be circumvented. Finally, stay up-to-date with changing policies and laws around using unlicensed software and content so that you don’t stumble upon an unexpected violation without realizing it.
