PIRACY, as referred to by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, is music which has been pirated, meaning that it has been copied from a legitimate or pirated copy, usually by computer, without the consent of the rights holder and for commercial gain.
There are several elements common to most pirated products of this kind.
For one, the packaging of a pirated product differs from the original.
Pirated copies are often compilations, for example, purporting to be the "greatest hits" of a specific artist or a collection of tracks drawn from a specific genre, such as dance music.
Frequently (although not always), these kinds of albums were never published or released by the rights holders.
The main feature of pirated music is the fact that on face value it does not look the same as the original, although all sound recordings on the pirated cassette or disc are usually from a previously released legitimate album. http://www.stoppiracy.org.za/risa/
