Word origin
The word 'pirated' originated from the term 'pirate', which initially referred to a person who engaged in maritime robbery. Over time, the term evolved to describe the unauthorized reproduction or distribution of copyrighted material, particularly in the digital age. The rise of the internet and file sharing platforms has led to widespread issues of piracy, prompting legal actions and anti-piracy measures to protect intellectual property rights.
