I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Issue of the Software Theft. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The modern world is in a period where there is an outburst of research and innovative concepts that are been realized day in day out. The level of innovations has grown and that can only be attributed to technology. The most outstanding thing about it is the speed of innovation. The rate of innovation has increased dramatically such that each day, a better version, or model of a technological item is created [1]. In the digital world, where software is the main norm, this is the case. The software that is produced is the real reason that a lot of the hardware that is in use functions as it does. Hence, companies like Primal Pictures manufactures software that avails precise 3-D models of human anatomy, which is no mean achievement. In spite of this prudent innovation that can be used in learning, health services, and research, the company is faced with an infringement of its intellectual property, which is the software. Piracy, an ethical problem, is threatening its existence as the software is copied using DVDs that are then sold to people as fake versions of the software. In addition, there is the sharing of the same software through sites that permit peer-to-peer torrents download. The shared versions of this software are the pirated ones. Due to these threats, the company sought the help of the Federation against Software Theft (FAST) who tried to stop the illegal distribution of the software by closing some of the online retailers who were selling the software without legal permission. The company also had several listings available on Google brought down. It tried the legal road, which proved tough. Hence, the paper is going to examine the ethical theories and principle aspects of the case study.

As noted, the ethical problem surrounding the software of Primal Pictures is piracy [2]. The question is what makes piracy an ethical problem?&nbsp.Piracy is the unlawful copying of software to sell, distribute, or share it without express permission from the legal and rightful owner [3].
