Data Theft
Data Piracy is real, and it costs everyone.
Don't be a data pirate.
When people steal our data and use it without paying for it, it not only impacts our company, it impacts our pricing, which impacts our customers. But that's not all that affects you. Data thieves are empowered to steal opportunities from our paying customers, often times because they can be more competitive with their pricing, given that their costs are so much lower (due to the fact that they are stealing data, not paying for it). The irony is that those who steal data count on companies like yours to pay for the data so that companies like ours can continue to produce it at such a high level. If nobody paid for data, we couldn't afford to spend thousands and thousands of hours and millions of dollars gathering and verifying it. So data thieves need lawful customers like you to ensure that they have a high quality product to steal. Data theft is, of course, illegal. A person who steals, or assists another in stealing, MNI data is liable to MNI for damages and can be subject to fines or imprisonment. That's serious.
