The masses are apparently told that copying of software is illegal.In this form a name has been given called piracy, and criminal acts have been loosely establish to punish individuals who 'pirate' software from large 'multinationals'.
Computer Swap meets are great places for obtaining 'bargains' of all sorts relating to Information Technology.
Another thing that can be obtained from them is
PIRATED SOFTWARE.
There are a number of vendors that openly sell pirated software, of which the authorities are no doubt aware of, and 'turn' a blind eye.
No doubt that maybe some of these people may be on government welfare claiming unemployment benefits (i.e. claiming NO INCOME) yet on the weekends sell pirated disks for $10 to $30 a pop.
