Copyright infringement is also known as copyright violation or copyright theft. A copyright is a grant of exclusive rights for the distribution, publication and reproduction of any artistic work in commercial quantity. Copyrights are a type of intellectual property and are the sole possession of the author or whomever the author has permitted a legal use of the material.
Violation of copyright happens when someone illegally misappropriate or use an intellectual property of another individual or company at their advantage for commercial purpose. It defeats the whole process of attributing the works of art of an individual or company by taking away the potential profits of the original creator without them paying for royalties. Common intellectual properties include patents, soft wares, and trademarks.
Due to intense competition, some competitors may attempt to secretly use your intangible assets without your permission or knowledge. It can be as small as copying the contents of your website to a large scale by using your e-books or digital goods to sell it to others. It can be harmful to your profits as well as the image of your company.
Moreover, in some cases, there are also employees who commit copyright infringement by leaking to third parties the vital information of the intellectual property to a third person for their own gain. It can be an access to their private group chats, passwords to their soft wares and other company’s intangible resources.
