It's Time to Stop Software Piracy
China has often been criticized for the rampant practice of software piracy. Take a lookaround. We operate on pirated Windows systems, defend PC security with pirated Kasperskyanti-virus programmes, process files with pirated Microsoft Office, draft 3D designs withpirated AutoCAD, refine pictures with pirated Adobe Photoshop, and study English with piratedKingsoft's electronic dictionaries and translators. It's no exaggeration that pirated software iseverywhere.
The logic behind the phenomenon is simple and clear: if a pirated copy is available forjust a tiny fraction of the normal price, not to speak of many of the free downloads online, whowould pay for an authentic copy? Cheaper prices aside, easy access is another importantfactor. With such a large gathering of pirated upgrades around, who would bother to spendtime and money searching the stores for an authorized yet outdated version?
Despite these apparent benefits, the practice of software piracy should be banned,because it represents unfair competition and by nature it's a no-win situation. But how? Twoapproaches are to be taken at the same time: Technically, software developers should enhancetheir antipiracy engineering, so that cracking the software should be virtually impossible. Andlegally, the government should also tighten its antipiracy laws and toughen up the penalties, sothat violations should be costly.
