Anti-piracy refers to the efforts and measures taken to prevent the unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of copyrighted materials, such as music, movies, software, and books. These actions aim to protect the rights of creators and ensure they receive fair compensation for their work. Various strategies are employed in anti-piracy, including legal actions, digital rights management (DRM) technologies, and public awareness campaigns. Organizations like the Motion Picture Association and Recording Industry Association of America actively work to combat piracy and promote respect for intellectual property rights.
