anti-piracy

Protecting digital content

Anti-piracy describes measures to prevent unauthorized copying or distribution of copyrighted material—software, music, films, books.

The term covers both technological protections (copy protection, digital rights management) and legal enforcement efforts: anti-piracy warnings, anti-piracy legislation.

In a separate sense, anti-piracy refers to efforts against maritime piracy: anti-piracy patrols off the Somali coast.
