| Term
used to describe the act of illegally using, copying and/or
distributing software without purchasing the software or having the
legal rights. The majority of software purchased today is purchased as
a one-site license, meaning that only one computer may have that
software installed on it at one time. Copying that software to
multiple computers or sharing it with your friend without multiple
licenses is considered illegal and is considered software piracy. Computer
