In Brazil, the final consumer of pirated content remains unpunished thanks to the Civil Framework of the Internet, that grants them online privacy. Data is kept secret, only to be made public by judicial demand, making it complicated for record labels to send notifications. Another factor is the principle of social adequacy, that stops socially accepted conduct to be criminalized.

This occurs when unauthorized software is downloaded from the Internet. The same rules apply to online software purchases and CD purchases. Common Internet hacking techniques are:

Sites that make the software available for free download or in exchange for other software
Internet auction sites offering counterfeit or off-channel software
Peer-to-peer networks that allow unauthorized transfer of copyrighted programs
Piracy by the end user

It occurs when an individual reproduces copies of the software without authorization. For example:

Using a licensed copy to install a program on multiple computers
Copying disks for installation or distribution
Taking advantage of upgrade offers, without having a legitimate copy of the version to be updated
Acquisition of academic software or other software restricted or not available for sale without the appropriate license
Changing discs at or outside the workplace
Excessive use of the client-server
This type of piracy occurs when an excessive number of users on a network use a central copy of a program at the same time. If you have a local network and install programs on the server to be used by multiple users, you need to make sure that your licenses allow you to do this. If you have more users than the number allowed by the license, this is considered "overuse".

This type of piracy is the duplication, distribution or illegal sale of copyrighted material, the intention of which is to imitate the original product. In the case of packaged software, it is common to find fake copies of the CDs that incorporate the software programs, accompanied by the box, manuals, license agreements, labels, registration cards and security features related to the product.

battle against “piracy” occurs in the domain of knowledge transformed into good and the law and rhetoric of the illegitimate use, distribution and production of goods revolves around increasingly protectionist policies that govern intangible goods, such as trademarks, patents and copyrights . The antecedents of these policies are in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when the laws of the Venetians and the English granted printing monopolies to specific publishers and established control of the rule of law (eg censorship). In the 19th century, the term “piracy” was widely applied to publishers who made copies of books to sell, without the author's permission or the payment of royalties. Many of the debates of that time were around the unauthorized reproduction of works in other countries, whose local legislation had no jurisdiction.
