Before the internet existed. Internet piracy involves infringement of copyright, or intellectual property rights, which has been illegal for a long time.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), passed in 1996 (and made effective October 28, 1998), closed some unanticipated holes in existing copyright statutes. The Act explicitly extended protection to various digital media and criminalized acts intended to gain unauthorized access to or allow distribution of copyrighted materials such as movies, music, software, etc.
The law was written to implement treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), which encourages legal cooperation between participating nations in safeguarding creative or intellectual products. Not all countries abide by these treaties.
