The use and sale of software products without permission from the creator/copyright holder is piracy and an act of copyright infringement under the Copyright Law and the MUI Fatwa. This study discusses the forms and constraints in controlling Copyright on computer software products and Islamic views on the practice of buying and selling pirated computer software products. The researcher uses a statutory and conceptual approach in this sociological, juridical research. The data collection techniques in this study used literature and field studies with descriptive-analytical methods. The practice of buying and selling computer software products is legal in Islam's view. However, suppose you practice buying and selling using illegal (pirated) computer software products. In that case, the sale and purchase are considered harmful, and the law is forbidden or prohibited in Islam.
