Digital piracy poses a significant challenge to the protection of intellectual property rights, particularly in the context of copyright enforcement.

This research paper critically examines the landscape of digital piracy, assessing the effectiveness of current enforcement measures and exploring emerging strategies to combat infringement. The study delves into the technological, legal, and economic dimensions of the issue, aiming to provide insights into the evolving nature of copyright protection in the digital age.
