Intellectual Property Rights (Pirating) Piracy, or theft, of trademarks and copyrighted material is a growing concern. As improved communication methods simplify sending data across international boundaries, theft of intellectual property has become a global affair. Cases that involve the piracy or theft of intellectual property are complex. If you are involved in such a case, consult an attorney with experience in the area.

Intellectual Property Rights (Pirating) Piracy and counterfeiting describe the sale of copies of products without the permission of the owner of the rights to those products. Piracy usually refers to the sale of unauthorized copies, without necessarily claiming that it is an authorized copy. For example, selling a recording of a movie made by someone sitting in a theater with a video camera is a type of piracy. Counterfeiting means selling a copy that looks like an authorized copy and falsely claiming that it was authorized or licensed, such as selling unauthorized or unlicensed copies of software in a package that looks exactly like a legitimate package. Some counterfeit copies of products may be so accurate that it is difficult to tell them from legitimate products.

Pyramiding scam using the internet Be wary of messages that read: "How to Make Big Money From Your Home Computer!!!" One online promoter claimed that investors could "turn $5 into $60,000 in just three to six weeks." In reality, this program is nothing more than a classic "pyramid" scheme. A pyramid scheme is a scheme in which a hierarchy is created by people joining under others who joined previously, where those who join, make payments to those above them in the hierarchy, with the expectation of being able to collect payments from those who join below. All pyramid schemes rely on increasing numbers of unsuspecting investors to buy into the bottom of the chain in hopes of taking money out once they reach the top. Because is practically instantaneous, relatively anonymous and incredibly cheap, it is an almost ideal vehicle for this type of scam.

Pyramiding scam using the internet Like other scams, a pyramid scam may promise rates of return that seem just too good to be true for little or no effort on your part, or it may initially be vague about what your initial investment will go toward. What happens in a pyramid scheme is that existing investors are paid a return based on the promoters’ ability to raise new funds; once the fund raising stops, later investors cannot be repaid and the pyramid collapses.
