Software piracy and its prevention

 Software piracy and its prevention


Software Piracy: Software piracy refers to the activity of copying software, distributing it, partially modifying it and continuing it under one's own name. Software piracy is also a crime like stealing other people's stuff. Due to software piracy, software manufacturers suffer financially. Some steps to prevent piracy:


(i) The first step to prevent piracy is to comply with the prevailing laws of the country.

(ii) When any software needs to be installed, patiently read the “Terms and Conditions” carefully. Not only read, but act upon it. If it infringes copyright, refrain from using it.

(iii) The mentality of saving money by buying pirated software is not stopping. This mentality must end. If there is no money to buy the software, the software can be used with the permission of the specific organization or software manufacturer. In that case its use will not be illegal.

(iv) Risk and Responsibility Offices should be encouraged to purchase and use commercial software in computer management. Offices can do this themselves.

 (v) Since there is still not enough opportunity to buy licenses online in the country, the effective tool to avoid piracy is to use freeware, open source software and all types of free software. To survive from piracy we have to use open source software instead of paid software and get used to it.


(vi) User's computer is at risk due to use of pirated software. Therefore, the importance of using original software should be properly presented to the office staff.

(vii) Awareness should be raised among people to prevent piracy. There should be a massive campaign about its evils, the provisions of the law and the provisions of punishment.

(viii) Nowadays internet technology has become the main medium of piracy. Therefore, there is a need to increase vigilance on all the ways of copyright infringement using the Internet. Violating sites may be blocked or terminated if necessary.

(x) Piracy can be prevented by strict enforcement of laws. Law enforcement agencies have to play this leading role. That is why law enforcement agencies including Police-RAB need to be trained in this regard so that they can bring the sellers of pirated products under the law. Those who buy pirated products and those who sell them should refrain from such activities. The government should pay more attention to this matter. As a result of the pirated software wikikini, those who work hard to create software suffer financially. We need to be more aware of this. The youth of the country are becoming self-reliant by developing many necessary software and applications. Due to piracy, this progress cannot be hindered in any way.

What are the things to consider when buying a WiFi or broadband router for home, office, park and restaurant ?

Today we talk about What are the things to consider when buying a WiFi or broadband router for home, office, park and restaurant .I never like huge introduction about any topic . I always like very shortly introduce any-things to my viewers without any-type boring .So let's began the leanrning :- 1. Decide in advance how many devices you will use. 2. Decide how much space you need coverage. 3. Understand the structure of your home. WiFi signals become weak to penetrate the walls. That is why good coverage is not available. If you have a lot of walls in your house and you want to get coverage in the whole house, then you need a router with high power and wall penetration feature. 4. Decide what features you need in addition to the internet connection. Such as: - 4.1 3G 4G Modem Support- There are many routers that can use the modem. Those routers have a USB port and a one port so that broadband lines can be used. But remember that the modem must have the ability to auto-connect. Not...

What should the processor look at?

The things that we all should keep an eye on are the processor or not; 1. Clock speed 2. Number of course 3. cache memory 4. FBS 1. Clock Speed: It is also called GH2. All processors are written on. Clock speed means how fast your computer can work. That's what this signal means. The speed of the processor is known through this clock speed, how fast the calculation can be done. 2. Number of Cores: The more cores the processor has, the faster the processor can work. If I give an example to explain the matter, I hope you can understand it very easily. Suppose if a person had many hands, then he could do many things at the same time. That is, if we go to the market and buy a smartphone, then we will see what the configurations of the phone are. If we look closely at the configuration of the smartphone, we will see that Dual Core Processor, Quad Core Processor, Octa core processor, Hexa core processor, Deca core processor. This means that the dual core processor has two arms or cores, ...

What is transmission media? Introduction to different types of data transmission cables

Transmission media: When a PC communicates or wants to communicate with another PC, it has to take the help of some transmission media. The most commonly used media in the network are twisted pair cable, coaxial cable, fiber optic cable. Nowadays, the use of optical fiber is increasing greatly. Radio wave, microwave and infrared technologies are prominent among wireless media. Among these mediums, optical fiber has the highest data transfer speed. The type of medium used in a network depends on the type and location of that network. The connection system for exchanging information between the sender and the remote receiving end is called a channel. The means or methods used to implement the channel are called media. such as-- (i) Cable or wire. (ii) Common telephone lines. (ii) Radio waves. (iv) Microwave. (v) Geo-satellite systems etc. Cable or Wire: Cable is an important medium in data communication. Cables are generally used for data transfer over short range networking such as LAN...
