Anti-piracy

Anti-piracy

Anti-piracy is a term used by some to describe the attempt to prevent copyright infringement.

It includes, but is by no means limited to, the combined efforts of corporate associations (such as the RIAA and MPAA), law enforcement agencies (such as the FBI and Interpol), and various world governments to combat copyright infringement relating to various types of creative works, such as software, music and films. These measures often come in the form of copy prevention measures such as DRM. Nearly 90% of college students download music illegally making them the group of people who download music the most illegally.

Examples of "anti-piracy"

* RIAA suing file-sharers that share music over P2P networks
* MPAA encryption of DVD movies using the CSS cipher and prohibiting the distribution and use of DeCSS, while also having the effect of banning free/open source DVD player software.
* "Coded Anti-Piracy", also called CAP codes, as a way to put a forensic identification on the film to trace back illegal copies of films to the source.
* "Metal Gear Solid" required a piece of information from the game's jewel case for the player to progress after a certain point, making pirated copies effectively worthless without the original jewel case.
