Risks of software piracy for projects

In addition to punishments, the use of pirated software can cause further damage to users.

Beware of using pirated software. ABES, the Brazilian Association of Software Companies, estimates that the use of unlicensed software can result in a fine of up to 12 times the value of each software license that is irregular. In addition, this type of practice is considered a crime punishable by imprisonment of up to 4 years.

Today's modern technologies allow developers to collect usage data on pirated software without the user realizing it. This way, data accumulates and suddenly a court notice appears, demanding that companies and users compensate the manufacturer for the entire period of pirated use. In other words, those who use pirated licenses think they are "cheating" the developer, but this is no longer the case, and the user can be charged for all past use of a pirated license.

Nowadays, several developers have stepped up their enforcement against the irregular use of this software. Companies such as Trimble (SketchUp), Chaos (v-Ray), ZWSoft and others are notifying and applying penalties in order to be compensated.

Hackers and productivity losses:

In addition, pirated licenses are licenses in which the activation code has been "cracked" by professional hackers. When you install a pirated license, you are installing software that has been tampered with by a hacker and you could lose out on ongoing projects, as spyware is added that can extract personal data from your computer. Data shows that the use of pirated licenses in Brazil is the main reason why Brazilians are among the world's biggest victims of cybercrime.
