Phrase pirated
Text In this podcast, the word "pirated" means copied illegally without permission from the original creator: "Would you ever consider buying pirated software to save money, even though you know it is wrong?" Or, "The music company is trying to fight against pirated music by creating a technology that will make it impossible to copy its CDs." The word can also be used as a verb, "to pirate": "Someone pirated that movie even before it was being shown in movie theaters!" Finally, a "pirate" is a person, usually a man, who works on a large ship, attacking other boats to steal things from them and always looking for gold: "Captain Hook in the book Peter Pan is probably one of the most famous pirates."
