· What can you say about products that have the same features and almost a
copycat of the original design especially those that are made in China?
China remains the world's manufacturing hub for counterfeit goods of any type,
whether we like it or not. Despite China's ambitions to become a creative powerhouse in
this century and corporate pressure, the fact is that copying is still a lucrative and effective
method to generate money. In a fast-changing country like ours, there's no better or more
cost-effective way to stay up with the best and close economic and technical gaps than
to follow the winners. Lastly, why can't we do what they're doing if it's profitable? It will
also work with us if it is effective.

What is stipulated with respect to ownership of the software?
I learned that the EULA is a contract between software suppliers or developers
and users after visiting EULA-related websites. The program can now be disseminated
without trespassing on third-party intellectual property rights, according to this agreement.
All intellectual creations are protected by copyright law. This means that only the copyright
