English term

counterfeiter

English to Spanish Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters article
Because the video quality of DVD is very high, movie content owners are concerned that counterfeiters will be able to either use DVD movies as masters for VHS tape or simply copy the data on to another disc using a computer. By encrypting or "scrambling" a movie when it is mastered and putting a decryption circuit in consumer DVD players, digital copying can be prevented.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Sí, mi idea es que se puede nombrarlos falsificadores, más adelante se especifica qué es lo que falsifican y ya se puede mencionar que específicamente es piratería.

A quienes falsifican y comercializan grabaciones muchas veces les llaman "piratas".
