Computer software, or simply software, also known as computer programs, is the non-tangible elements of computers. It signifies the set of programs that govern the operation of a computer system and make the hardware run.
Software is commonly written in high-level programming languages that are easier and more effective for humans to use than machine language. High-level languages are compiled or created into machine language object code.

It is like you are taking the product of another person without prior permission or payment to the owner.
Risky: Pirated software can be easily infected with serious computer viruses, which can damage the user's computer system. If we acquire a fake software, and it suddenly crashes, we will not be able to complain about the defective purchase as it's fake. When we are updating an operating system, and suddenly the CD-key has been detected as fake, it might lead to a complicated situation. Other pirated versions contain bugs and forcibly we have to remove the program that was installed recently. Again, there is no point to update or complain because it is fake software. Also, many supposed manipulated software and key generator’s are actually malware in disguise. Because of this, the pirate can lose passwords to his e-mail, MySpace, and even his bank
