Abstract
This paper is a brief attempt to understand the
current situation with digital piracy on the territory of the
Western Balkans with special reference to the situation in North
Macedonia.
Digital piracy is a state of owning, using, copying, and
distribution of copyrighted material without the permission of
its owner. As a phenomenon, piracy has long time been a global
problem, which, among other things, causes great material
losses to many individuals, and private entire industries.
Especially affected are the software industry, music, film, and
other industries. For the purposes of this paper, a survey was
conducted regarding the use, prevalence, ways, causes, and
awareness of the legal consequences of the use of pirated
materials in our country. The results of our work should lead to
possible directions for further action in order to reduce this
problem.
