Sophie Black works as a computer programmer for a software company. Her boss, Mike Jones, is responsible for developing a new software game for the Wii. After completion of the project Mike gives all of the team members a free copy of the game without consent from the company. Sophie is a little hesitant and unsure about accepting the game because legally it would be considered ___________.

A. Counterfeit software
B. Pirated software
C Ethical software
D. Governance software

Answer 1

B. Pirated software

Step-by-step explanation:

Software piracy is used to define the act of using, duplicating or transferring software unlawfully without property or legal rights.

Today, most software is bought as a single-user permit, which means that at one moment only one PC could have that software running on it.

Trying to copy the software to various devices or distributing it without multiple licenses is regarded to be illegal software piracy.
