The most common items that are pirated include tapes, CDs, DVDs, and computer files.3
The process of piracy is faster and cheaper than it used to be. This is a reason
why people pirate. It is very easy and very tempting.
Internet piracy began with copying CDs and then to hacking and downloading free stuff from the internet. It became easier with the invention of the CD burner and it was made even easier by hackers. At the current moment the future is very unclear for the subject of internet piracy, but the measures taken to prevent piracy won't eliminate piracy, just slow it down.8
