Abstract

Software piracy, or the illegal use of software, is a growing global issue. The legal and moral ramifications associated with the use of pirated materials within an organization increase the risk of criminal and civil liabilities within an Information Technology (IT) department. This study examines select literature to discover what can and should be done by an IT worker to prevent the use of pirated materials on the network for which they are responsible.
