How to judge whether a book is genuine or pirated?
Piracy refers to the act of making copies and redistributing copied works, publications, etc. Code made by a new manufacturer that is exactly the same as the source code without the consent or authorization of the copyright owner. In most countries and regions, this kind of behavior is defined as an illegal act of infringing intellectual property rights, and even constitutes a crime, which will be punished by the host country. Pirated publications usually include pirated books, pirated software, pirated audio-visual works and pirated online knowledge products. Piracy, that is, the proverb "D version". This violates the law, and property buyers are not protected by law.

Discrimination method

I. Quality

1. Check the appearance of the book. Specifically: the cover of the first trial. Compared with genuine books, the cover of pirated books is often incorrect in color, or dull and listless, or gorgeous and enchanting, and the color matching is often mixed. As long as they are often compared, it is not difficult to tell the difference between them. Second, look at binding. According to the practice in the publishing industry, a genuine book with more than 200 pages should be bound with lock thread, plastic thread or wireless instead of iron wire. However, due to the limitation of printing and binding equipment or cost reduction, pirates still use wire binding for pirated books with more than 300 pages and 400 pages. Look at the printing house. Each publishing house has several fixed printing users, and each printing house has its own characteristics in paper, ink and printing. If you pay attention to this at ordinary times, it will help to identify pirated books. Fourth, look at the paper. Books should be printed on both sides. If the paper is too thin, it will easily mix with ink, resulting in illegible handwriting. Therefore, except for dictionaries, the original book paper is 52 grams and above. Once you meet a book with thin paper and the handwriting on the other side is exposed, you must be careful.

2. Review the text of this book. There are three manifestations of pirated books in the text: first, there are many typos, typos, words, derivatives and sick sentences; Second, typesetting is often irregular, sparse or dense, and the vision is blunt; The third one looks like a copy. Some pirated books are copied according to the original book without separate typesetting, which can avoid typographical errors and ugly typesetting, but there are many ink spots on the paper, and the handwriting is often swollen, which looks like a copy drilled from the copier. In fact, no matter how fake, there is always a distance between pirated books and genuine books. So it's best to shop around for books.

3. Pay attention to book publishing information. Such as publishing house, ISBN, edition and so on.

Two. price

Genuine books are uniformly priced by relevant departments, so the purchase discount of genuine booksellers is relatively high, and the purchase discount is similar. Therefore, buyers must shop around for books in online bookstores. For some books with ultra-low prices, you must ask clearly before buying, which is greedy for cheap.

Three. source

It is best to choose some online bookstores with large scale and good credit when buying genuine books, because these sellers generally have more legitimate purchase channels. If you are not sure whether the book you want to buy is genuine, you must find the seller to understand the situation and let the seller make a guarantee. After receiving the seller's books, if you find some features of pirated books, you should immediately report complaints to the relevant departments and ask the seller to return them.

Piracy of audio-visual products

"Piracy of audio-visual products" refers to the act of illegally copying audio-visual products with copyright, counterfeiting and selling software products. Multimedia products such as movies, TV plays and musicals are the most common.

Taking movies as an example, there are usually the following forms:

1. CD version: pirated CDs with relatively good effects are mostly copied and recorded by foreign versions (such as 1 zone) (a few are made of genuine CDs). Although the visual effect is basically the same as that of genuine DVD, the quality of most Chinese dubbing is very poor, because its Chinese audio track usually comes from the wrong source (illegal recording in the cinema, etc.). ) and there are many translation errors.

2. album version: There are high-definition movies, usually DVDs, and high-quality VCDs converted from DVDs.

3. Gun version (also known as shadow version): movies secretly recorded in cinemas usually have vague effects, poor quality, dark colors, and sometimes jitter, shadows and noise, but the release speed is very fast, only a little later than the official release abroad.

In addition, version D, a new term for pirated CD, is often described by sellers as DVD version, and the correct source should be the first letter of the word pirated pinyin.

"Software piracy" refers to the illegal copying of copyrighted software programs, counterfeiting and selling of software products. There is a general standard for judging software piracy. For specific software, you need to refer to its end-user license agreement.
