Introduction:
Copyright is the right given by law to the creators in literary, dramatic, musical and a variety of other works of mind. It ordinarily means the creator alone has the right to make copies of his or her works or alternatively, prevents all others from making such copies. The basic idea behind such protection is the premise that innovations require incentives. Copyright recognizes this need and gives it a legal sanction. Moreover, commercial exploitation of copy right yields income to the creators and thus making pecuniary rewards to individuals creativity.

Conclusion:

The conclusion that emerges is that though social factors like illiteracy, unemployment etc. influence piracy, the phenomenon occurs more because of economic reasons than anything else. For pirates it is an easy way of making quick bucks. For the end users it is a gainful arrangement for buying a variety of info-entertainment products which otherwise remain unaffordable atleast to a vast majority. Basically this win-win situation for pirates and end users keep the piracy alive and active in the society. Other socioeconomic variables like poverty and high prises etc. only add to the degree of problem.
