Abstract
Little knowledge is needed to be able to make a copy of a disk. Software piracy and pilfering cost the industry billions in sales. A protection strategy, to prevent duplication or changes to the programe that would allow access to a company's own ideas and expertise, is formulated. Methods adopted, including hardware and software devices, and legislation are described.
