What is copyright infringement?

Copyright infringement occurs when a person other than the copyright owner exploits one or more of the copyright owner's exclusive rights without the owner's permission.

Such use is theft. It is sometimes called copyright piracy.

Copyright law does not prevent infringment from occurring. It does offer remedies for situations in which infringment does occur: the owner can obtain damages, penalties, and reimbursements.
