Anti-piracy measures of copyright include the enforcement of laws that penalize the unauthorized reproduction and distribution of copyrighted materials, such as music, films, and software. Technologies like Digital Rights Management (DRM) help restrict access and control how content is used. Additionally, public awareness campaigns educate consumers about the legal and ethical implications of piracy, promoting respect for intellectual property.
Copyright is one tool to prevent the intellectual property of a person from being pirated. Although copyright doesn’t exactly prevent piracy, it does protect the legal interests of the party negatively affected and prescribe legal consequences for the perpetrator, in the event that copyright piracy does occur. However, the measures against online copyright infringement weren’t satisfactory. Therefore, the copyright act was amended in 2012 to bring under its umbrella the various forms of online piracy that takes place.
