Ans: I’ll convince my friend for buying copyrighted CD instead of getting pirated copy because
pirated copies are basically illegal copy of the original CD. Pirated copy are unapproved
duplicates of somebody's innovative work, you are taking something of significant worth from
the owner without their authorization, whereas, copyrighted CDs are those with proper copy
protection of owners creative work and intellectual property. In any case, if the action of selling
of pirated copies have been reported, under the law of the Copyright Ordinance, 1962, a
penalty of Rs.100,000 will be charged or will be imprisoned for 03 years maximum. So, in order
to avoid such mishaps instead of buying pirated CD we should buy copyrighted CD with proper
copy protection for owner’s creation and intellectual property.
