In my previous article of this series I concluded saying that software piracy is theft. Let’s pick up from where I stopped.

Now what does the bible say about stealing?

1. God commands that we must not steal.

“You shall not steal.” Exodus 20:15. When we commit software piracy we break God’s law as well as the state law.

2. Software piracy is sin

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “If anyone sins and commits a breach of faith against the Lord … through robbery…”

Robbing is a sin. Software piracy is robbing from some one’s hard work therefore it’s a sin detestable before God.
