Copyright: This means that a design or creation belongs to the person (or group) who created it. It allows the owner to protect against others copying or reproducing their work.
Piracy: The illegal copying, sharing or use of somebody else's work online, e.g. streaming or downloading films illegally.
Scott has started making money by selling software to his friends which allows them free access to an unlimited source of the latest films, TV shows and live-streamed sports matches.

Kwasi never downloads content illegally from the internet but has been sent a link to Eliza’s file sharing site. He’s considering using it.
