How does internet piracy work?
<|assistant|>
Internet piracy involves the illegal downloading or sharing of copyrighted materials such as music, movies, software, and books over the internet. The process usually begins when someone makes a copy of the material without the permission or knowledge of the owner, and then either posts it for public download or distributes the files via file-sharing networks. Piracy of this kind impacts the original creator or copyright holder by costing them potential revenue from sales or royalties, and damages the integrity of their work. This can lead to decreased willingness to produce works in the future, as the potential for financial gain may be greatly reduced.
