Anti Piracy is a word used to describe countermeasures against maritime piracy but moreoften by some to describe the attempt to prevent copy wright and other violations of intellectual property rights. It includes, but is by no means limited to, the combined efforts of corporate associations (such as the RIAA and MPAA ), law enforcement agencies (such as the FBI and Interpol and other international agencies ), and various international governments to combat copyright infringement relating to various types of creative works, such as software, music and films. These measures often come in the form of copy protection measures have criticized the use of the word 'piracy' in these situations, saying that publishers use the word to refer to "copying they don't approve of" and that "they [publishers] imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them."
