pirated goods
Illegally copied products
Pirated goods are unauthorized copies of copyrighted material—software, music, films, books—produced and distributed without permission from the rights holders.
The term extends to counterfeit physical products bearing trademarked logos: pirated handbags, pirated watches.
Unlike digital piracy, which duplicates content, counterfeit goods imitate branded merchandise.
Customs seized a shipment of pirated goods at the port.
