Statute of Limitations

A statute of limitations is a law that sets the maximum time the parties involved have to initiate legal proceedings from the date of an alleged offense, whether civil or criminal. However, cases involving serious crimes, like murder, typically have no maximum period under a statute of limitations.


Stealing

Stealing is the action that occurs when someone takes possession of another person's identity, posessions, or information without any legal rights and without any permission, without any intention of returning it. In computer system the stealing means the unauthorized or illegal copying, sharing or usage of copyright-protected software programs. Software theft may be carried out by individuals, groups or, in some cases, organizations who then distribute the unauthorized software copies to users.


Stealing or providing business secrets
