Piracy
Piracy is a major issue for the entertainment and creative industries. Pasting internet images into your social media without permission, or accessing films, tv series or live sports events through Kodi boxes, hacked Fire Sticks or apps without paying a subscription is an infringement of copyright and you may be committing a crime.
Counterfeits
Social media is ever evolving and in recent years, has allowed us to sell and buy products via online marketplaces. This is great but has also given opportunity for counterfeiters to peddle fake goods to unknowing consumers. Buying fake products can put yourself and your loved ones at risk. They don’t always comply to safety regulations and by purchasing online, you’re sharing your personal data that could be used for criminal activity.
