The replication and distribution of videos or computer software.
The unauthorised duplication and/or use and distribution of a software program. Buying a program usually allows the user a limited license for its use on a single computer. In the past, software manufacturers tried to discourage piracy by copy-protecting their products. However, because US copyright laws allow a legitimate holder of a program to make a backup disk, measures such as owner registration have been used to discourage unauthorised use. Aside from being illegal, there are several other reasons for not using pirated software. Among them, the user gets no operating manual, no technical support, and runs the risk of introducing viruses into a computer by installing a bootlegged program.

The stealing of food (or nesting material) from one bird by another. See "kleptoparasitism." Parent martins are known to steal nesting material from other martins (both in the air and out of their nesting compartments). They also have been observed stealing prey out the beaks of other martins, and occasionally even Chimney Swifts. Both nestling and fledgling martins will enter neighboring martin house compartments (where there are smaller nestlings) to pirate incoming food from their "host's" unsuspecting parents. The con works because parent martins don't recognize their own young until fledging age.

Piracy is robbery committed at sea, or sometimes on the shore, by an agent without a commission from a sovereign nation. Seaborne piracy against transport vessels remains a significant issue (with estimated worldwide losses of US$13 to $16 billion per yearhttp://www.foreignaffairs.org/20041101faessay83606/gal-luft-anne-korin/terrorism-goes-to-sea.html), particularly in the waters between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, off the Somali coast, and in the Strait of Malacca and Singapore, which are used by over 50,000 commercial ships a year. A recent surge in piracy off the Somali coast spurred a multi-national effort led by the United States to patrol the waters near the Horn of Africa to combat piracy.
