Piracy

At Cengage Group, We Keep It Real. Each educational product released is the result of painstaking work on the part of expert authors, editors, manufacturers, and countless others who are committed to bringing students truly impactful learning materials.

 

What is Piracy?  Piracy is the unauthorized reproduction or distribution of someone’s intellectual property without their consent.

What is a counterfeit?  Counterfeits are imitations of the real products that are produced without approval from the owner.  They are often produced with the intent to take advantage of the exceptional value of the imitated product.  For more information please visit www.stopcounterfeitbooks.com.

Why should I report piracy and counterfeits?   The sale of pirated materials hurts our customers and our authors.  These illegal materials put students at risk, harm the economy, and threaten the jobs of hard-working people who care deeply about improving education for every learner.
