Media piracy refers to the unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of copyrighted materials, such as movies, music, software, and video games. This practice often occurs through illegal downloads, streaming, or sharing on peer-to-peer networks. Media piracy can harm creators and industries by reducing potential revenue and discouraging investment in new content. Governments and organizations worldwide have implemented laws and measures to combat media piracy, including copyright enforcement and public awareness campaigns. Despite these efforts, the rise of digital technology and the internet has made it easier for individuals to access pirated content, leading to ongoing debates about copyright, access to information, and fair use.
