Digital piracy refers to the unauthorized copying, sharing, or distribution of digital content such as movies, music, software, and e-books. This activity typically occurs without the permission of the copyright holder and often involves sharing files via the internet, peer-to-peer networks, or illegal streaming sites. Digital piracy can result in significant financial losses for creators and companies, and it is considered illegal in most countries. It also raises concerns about cybersecurity, as pirated files may contain malware or other security risks.
