# "Piracy"
Piracy is a [capitalist](capitalism.md) propaganda term for the act of illegally sharing copyrighted information such as [non-free](proprietary.md) books, movies, music, video [games](game.md) or scientific papers.
Piracy is a [capitalist](capitalism.md) propaganda term for the act of illegally sharing [copyrighted](copyright.md) [information](information.md) such as [non-free](proprietary.md) books, movies, music, video [games](game.md) or scientific papers.
It is greatly admirable to support piracy, however also keep in mind the following: if you pirate a [proprietary](proprietary.md) piece of information, you get it gratis but it stays proprietary, it abuses you, it limits your freedom -- you won't get the source code, you won't be able to publicly host it without being bullied, you won't be allowed to legally create and share derivative works etc. Therefore **prefer [free (as in freedom)](free_culture.md) alternatives to piracy**, i.e. pieces of [information](information.md) that are not only gratis but also freedom supporting.
