Software Piracy: This is the most common ethical issue for IT users. Many websites, applications, and software require payment to be ad-free and free to use. That is the main reason why many users are resorting to cracked and pirated software to use. Everyone wants free software, right? But software creators and developers also need money to sustain their projects. Take, for example, a student who uses a counterfeit version of Microsoft Office, which he asked an IT professional to install and activate for him. It really is unethical, but he had no money to sustain it. Many people, not just one, use pirated software to save money. It is a loss to the company that produces this kind of software. I remember the time when I wanted to download an ongoing drama series. I didn't have a Netflix account, nor did I have a legal account to pay for legally distributed websites. So, I looked for free websites and was able to download a complete series. Sounds easy, right? But it is piracy. There is a chance of viruses or malware, especially if you keep going back and forth. Well, we can not blame people who wanted to resort to software piracy.
