What are the differences between piracy and counterfeit?

 

 

+ Piracy:

 

– It is the copy and sale of a product without the creator’s consent.

 

– Who sells a pirate copy, is not hiding said condition and/or the fact that the product’s quality is low.

 

– It is the infringement of an Intellectual Property right or Copyright.

 

– It goes against the human creativity.

 

+ Counterfeit:

 

– It is the copy of a product, but it is sold as original.

 

– It is the infringement of an industrial right, and against a trademark’s exclusive rights.
