Piracy has been around as early as 1700 which by that time books were copied and re-print by unauthorized persons. Fast forward to the present, piracy still exists. Worst, it gets even more and more rampant with the help of technology.

Can Piracy Ever be Stopped?

That is a very big question especially today in our modern times. Piracy has never been this big, quick and viral than ever before. Piracy also evolve as fast as our time changes. From physical products up to digital products, you name it almost everything has a piracy counterpart.

One of the biggest problems now is the piracy of digital products which includes softwares, movies, music, games, documents and a lot more. Piracy of digital products was not that dominant until the internet was born. As the internet became popular back on its early stage it also evolved and it claimed the number one source for piracy. Internet is the fastest way to spread these copyright infringement files in a matter of seconds. There are a lot of groups who release a crack/patch/keygen to a certain product to make it ‘legit‘ or good as ‘paid‘.

If you are familiar with torrents, P2P, File Sharing hosts like Rapidshare, Megaupload and many more, then all you need is a fast internet and you are good to go to download what you need.

With this VERY large scope of people involved(almost globally) and a few minutes to spare to download, it would really be impossible to stop this piracy in my opinion. Laws has been implemented in other countries but not all, so it would really be difficult to stop these illegal acts.

I really wonder why the Laws and government can’t stop these people who creates crack/patch/keygens and websites like torrents, P2P, File Sharing hosts like Rapidshare, Megaupload and the like. If they want to stop piracy, better aim to them first and everything else will follow. Well unless the government receives a fat checks from them, that would be a different story.
