We need to stop Software Piracy Nowadays,China has often been criticized for the rampant practice of software piracy.We operate on pirated Windows systems, PC security softwares, Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, and etc. It ’s no exaggeration that pirated software is everywhere. The reasons why pirated software has run wild are as follows. First, there is a huge profit behind it. Each pirated disc will produce 50% of the profit. Second, there is no very strict law to control the pirated software. That last reason is that education or publicity has fallen behind. People are not aware of the harm which pirated software would bring to the market and they like to buy it. 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? Two approaches are to be taken at the same time: Technically, software developers should enhance their antipiracy engineering, so that cracking the software should be virtually impossible. And legally, our government should also tighten its antipiracy laws and toughen up the penalties, so that violations should be costly.
