{{Stub}} {{ElementInfobox | type = Terminology }} '''Anti-piracy''' measures are efforts to fight against copyright infringement, counterfeiting, and other violations of intellectual property laws. It includes, but is by no means limited to, the combined efforts of corporate associations (such as the RIAA and MPAA), law enforcement agencies (such as the FBI and Interpol), and various international governments to combat copyright infringement relating to various types of creative works, such as software, music and films. These measures often come in the form of copy protection measures such as DRM, or measures implemented through a content protection network, such as Distil Networks or Incapsula. Richard Stallman and the GNU Project have criticized the use of the word "piracy" in these situations, saying that publishers use the word to refer to "copying they don't approve of" and that "they [publishers] imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them". Certain forms of Anti-Piracy (such as DRM), are considered by consumers to control the use of the products content after sale. In the case ''MPAA v. Hotfile'', a Judge Kathleen M. Williams granted a motion to deny the prosecution the usage of words she views as "pejorative". This list included the word "piracy", the use of which, the motion by the defense stated, would serve no purpose but to misguide and inflame the jury. The plaintiff argued the common use of the terms when referring to copyright infringement should invalidate the motion, but the Judge did not concur. == List of games with anti-piracy == {| class="article-table" !Game !Piracy Results |- |Grand Theft Auto IV |GTA 4 has the screen shaken with the drunken cam, and it will never stop. and everytime you try to get in a car, the car is smoking and accelerates by itself, making it impossible to complete the whole game. |- |Mirror's Edge |during the game, the player's character starts to slow down making it impossible to jump over ledges and proceed further in the game. |- |UNDERTALE |When you try to open the game, Flowey Sends you a message to buy the game. after the message, the game closes. |- |More games coming soon... | |}
