What is copyright piracy?

Copyright piracy is the unauthorized use of protected works without permission or authorization from the copyright owner. It is a form of copyright infringement. Copyright piracy can take many forms, from illegal downloading and streaming of copyrighted material, to counterfeiting products that contain copyrighted material, to selling pirated versions of copyrighted works without consent or compensation to the copyright holder. In Florida, copyright piracy is a serious criminal offense, with potential fines, jail time, and other consequences. Copyright piracy can also have civil consequences, such as hefty monetary damages awarded to the copyright owner in a successful copyright infringement lawsuit. To protect your work from being pirated in Florida, you may want to seek advice from a lawyer who specializes in copyright law.
