Many people buy and use copied programs for the computer. This illegal copying of computer softwa
has become a huge industry because the software is much cheaper than the original programs. Illeg-
software can be found on sale in any part of the world although it is more rapidly available in Asian tha
in Western countries. Software manufacturers have been trying to get governments to stop this copying o-
"pirating". In an attempt to get grid of "software pirates", police have seized software form stores anc
fined the owners. This has been partially successful, but manufacturers are still losing a lot of money. By
using this kind of software, computer owners risk damaging their computer. Illegally copied software can
carry computer viruses which could wipe out information stored on the computer's hard driver.
