How does software piracy affects software developers?
Answer:
Software piracy is, in effect, stealing or theft.
When software is pirated, the author, or copyright holder does not get paid for the work and effort that went into writing the software.
The copyright holder has a right to define, within the software license agreement, the way a user my load the software, and how the software is used, and possible distributed.
If those who create and write software do not get paid for their efforts, they will stop writing software. Subsequently, we as a society suffer.
In the United States, it is a violation of federal law to pirate software, and it carries tremendous penalties, including fines and possible imprisonment.
