to protect the rights (and incomes) of creators.
From a moral standpoint, its essentially the same
protecting the rights of creators. Because copyright
violations are so easy and so frequent, law
enforcement has no chance of monitoring and
prosecuting every violators thus, it functions more on
the honor system
From a legal standpoint, it's a violation of
federal law, punishable by fines up.
From a moral standpoint, it's violating the
rights of the people whose works you're
pirating. You're devaluing their intellectual
property.
Copyright exist because , to encourage creation of
new works by making it financially viable to create
for a living.
Piracy exist because people want to get the items

"John" was the head of a new division of End Corp., a small
company with about 45 PCs. John was hired to reduce expenses for
the company and so he decided to cut corners on his software
licenses. John would only authorize the purchase of one copy of
each software program. His rationale was, "we bought it, and we
can do what we want to do with it." John's plan seemed to work until
the day that one of his employees called the software publisher for
technical support for the pirated software. The publisher knew they
were not licensed for multiple users so they called SIIA. End Corp.,
facing the possibility of a copyright infringement lawsuit, agreed to
pay a fine of $270,000 for the illegal software. In addition, End Corp.
was required to destroy all illegal software and re-purchase what it
needed to be legal. The total cost to End Corp. for failing to comply
with the copyright law was in excess of $500,000.
The unauthorized copying of personal computer software for use in
the office or at home or sharing of software among friends is the
most pervasive form of piracy encountered abroad and in the United
States.
