People often break the law, by stealing music from programs (Example: Limewire). And also copying information that are not originally theirs.

Another thing is, downloading movies.. which is a big concern. sincp people download movies from the internet with no pay.

These are some of the ways how people break the law.

Any time you copy, alter, distribute, or perform/display something that is not your own original work, and for which you have neither a license from the rightsholder nor an exemption in the law, you are violating the law as well as the owner's rights.

Copying, altering, distributing, or performing/displaying something that is not your own original work, and for which you don't have permission from the owner or an exemption in the law, would be copyright infringement. Keep in mind it not only makes it harder for artists to make a living, it can also carry fines and in extreme cases, jail sentences.
