What is internet piracy and how is it different from piracy on the open seas?
<|assistant|>
Internet piracy is a form of copyright infringement that involves unlawful distribution of copyrighted material on the web, such as illegally downloading or streaming movies, music, and software. This type of piracy is different from traditional piracy on the open seas, which is the unauthorized taking or using of someone else’s ship, boat, or possession. Internet piracy is not related to maritime piracy. Copyright infringement is not considered a criminal activity, but is instead governed by copyright laws. Copyright infringement is a civil violation and can result in costly fines, seizure of goods, and other penalties. In contrast, pirates on the open seas are generally subject to criminal prosecution and can face severe jail time and fines. The two types of piracy have very different legal and moral implications, so it is important to be aware of the distinction.
