Software products in today’s world are exposed to alarming rates of piracy and intellectual property theft. Malicious entities can deconstruct a software developer’s products to alter data, duplicate and distribute illegal copies of unlicensed software. These threats impact more than just the software ecosystem – such piracy threats directly affect customer satisfaction, data integrity, quality of products and ultimately have a negative impact on a company’s bottom line. In addition to economic losses, intellectual property theft also adversely affects innovation within the software development industry as a whole.
Licensing of software is difficult and complex to enforce, with some software vendors at times disregarding it all together.
