illegal usage of a copyrighted work
Copyright infringement occurs when someone uses a copyrighted work—such as a book, song, movie, or software—without permission from the person or organization that owns the copyright. It matters because copyright laws protect creators' rights to control and profit from their work, and infringement can result in legal consequences for the person who violated these rights.

Copyright infringement (at times referred to as piracy) is the use of works protected by copyright without permission for usage where such permission is required, thereby infringing certain exclusive rights granted to the copyright holder, such as the right to reproduce, distribute, display or perform the protected work, or to produce derivative works. The copyright holder is usually the work's creator, or a publisher or other business to whom copyright has been assigned. Copyright holders routinely invoke legal and technological measures to prevent and penalise copyright infringement.
