Illegal use of copyrighted work (6)

I believe the answer is:

piracy

(Other definitions for piracy that I've seen before include "Maritime or commercial robbery" , "Illegal copying" , "burglary, in the main?" , "Act of plagiarism" , "Buccaneering" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
