pir-acy (n)
(a) robbery by pirates.
(b) illegal copying or broadcasting.
(c) instance of either of these.

The word is piracy and it hurts both the music and the game industry.
It's of course easy to demand it to be either legal or not moral
subversive if your income doesn't depend on actually selling the
original product.
