Summary/Abstract: Internet offers without a doubt unlimited possibilities in accessibility, for anyone and everyone to utilize which implies transparency and as consequence, total exposure which automatically will result in vulnerability. Software programs on which internet is based are therefore highly vulnerable to piracy. This article describes one particular method to protect these programs from unlawful infringement: encryption and variations thereof, the legal consequences and pro and cons of the different variants. Is obvious that the evolution in the development of protective measures for the software programs has made great strides toward garding the intellectual properties rights, however due to the major interests, ingenuity, and ever evolving techniques a continued alertness is required.
