Abstract
With development of industries and a welcome to the era of globalization along with information technology, many software companies came into being. Tech and tech experts made it easier to pirate the software of the producers. Problems to the customer as well as to the content owner are present. One of major lacunas is the Judiciary being indecisive with the adamant growth of digital world as to the punishment and the reduction of crime, no separate laws by the legislators to protect the software piracy as a distinct crime. Lack of enforcement mechanism by the executive and administrative bodies leads to the increase of piracy in software.
