Some software publishers allow this use; others don't. Read the license agreement. Some examples: If you purchased Microsoft Office, Publisher, Project, or FrontPage through certain Microsoft agreements, the license permits you to install a second copy on one laptop or home computer to use for work-related purposes.

The one exception is the Mac operating system--Cornell's site license allows you to keep this software.
You do not have to remove software that you bought, with your own funds, at an educational discount. If you upgrade that software, however, you will have to pay the full price for the upgrade rather than the educational price. How can we help? Search IT Cornell Go.

Scenarios that get people into trouble My co-workers are copying software, but I don't want to be a tattletale and I'm worried about losing my job.

All the above-mentioned pieces of legislation along with these new John Doe orders help block potential threats before the release of new movies and govern the entire digital piracy scenario in India. However, several different aspects of digital piracy are still not dealt with, by Indian legislation.
There are several issues and challenges regarding online piracy in India that still need a lot of work. The Issue of Jurisdiction. Since the internet is an intangible space, determination of jurisdiction can be problematic. In the case of online copyright infringement, various countries or regions could be involved.
The question then arises as to which jurisdiction would be applicable. It could be decided based on the origin of the matter. It could also be decided based on place of storage, or even in the place where the material is finally used or displayed. It is not necessary that what constitutes illegal copyright infringement in one country, would be illegal copyright infringement in another country too. Sometimes different countries can even have conflicting laws.
This makes it difficult to punish an individual. There is also the issue of determining whether or not such infringement has taken place. With the increasing complexity of the cyberspace, it becomes very difficult to determine whether or not an individual is responsible for any infringement. After the establishment of an infringement case, the determination of what jurisdiction is to be applied is added trouble.
The problem becomes all the more difficult to sort when there are conflicting laws in different countries regarding the matter. And lastly, the lack of feasibility as well as higher costs makes it rather difficult to punish a person. Therefore, it is important to have clear cut rules about the determination of jurisdiction when it comes to online copyright infringement.
Under traditional copyright laws, especially the act of , there is a distinction provided between the reproduction of particular content in public and private domains. This distinction allows a person to reproduce copies of copyrighted content in the public domain, with prior permission from the author or original creator.
However, the cyberspace makes such distinction difficult. Since one person can transfer material to several people through the internet, the copyright laws regarding public and private spaces have become difficult.
The Issue of Rights of Reproduction. The right of reproduction is a huge issue on the internet. Distribution of any material over the internet requires the material to be reproduced. Data through the internet is transferred using a technique wherein there is a breakdown in the entire information into small packets. These small packets are then reconstituted to form the entire matter.
Packet Switching therefore means that there is reproduction at every stage of transmission of data through a computer. This makes it difficult to have a clear cut idea about the exact rights of reproduction and can be misused in cases of breach. The Issue of Enforcing Liability. The major issue with regards to copyright infringement over the internet is liability.
To enforce any form of punishment against an offender, it is important to determine where exactly the liability lies. However, in one issue related to copyright infringement over the internet, several people can be involved. Information could go through several layers and several different computers before being transmitted into the public domain.
Online piracy, also known as Internet piracy, is when illegal software is sold, shared or acquired by means of the Internet. This is usually done through a peer-to-peer P2P file-sharing system , which is usually found in the form of online auction sites and blogs.
