What is Intellectual Property Theft?

Intellectual Property Theft refers to the unauthorized decompilation, repurposing, wrapping, reverse engineering, or distribution of Aspose products. This practice:

• Violates Aspose’s End User License Agreement (EULA)
• Infringes copyright and intellectual property rights
• Can lead to serious legal consequences

Such unauthorized usage compromises software integrity and harms legitimate users.

Risks of Using Stolen Software

Developers using stolen or unlicensed software face significant risks, including:

• Lack of official updates, security patches, and technical support
• Exposure to malicious code, malware, and security vulnerabilities
• Potential legal action leading to penalties or business shutdown
• Operational risks if software suddenly becomes unusable due to legal enforcement

If Aspose takes legal action, offenders may be required to remove unauthorized products or even cease operations.

How to Identify Intellectual Property Theft

Unauthorized usage of Aspose software can often be detected through:

• Suspiciously similar documentation or APIs resembling Aspose products.
• Presence of Aspose watermarks, metadata, or expired license messages in output files.
• Identical output quality when compared to genuine Aspose software.

For reference, review the Aspose End User License Agreement (EULA) to confirm compliance.
