Most of the software used in Sirius is transferred long distances through wireless channels built into trade lanes and jump gates. However, the channels are extensively firewalled against intrusions, and no unlawful factions except for the Lane Hackers can gain access to them. In the recent 200 years, a wide market of counterfeit software arose in the Sirius sector. Different kinds of software, like operating systems, security programs, or video games, are cracked and illegally copied onto high-density optical disks or flash drives. The drives are later delivered to customers. Carrying counterfeit software is profitable, but no less dangerous business: it is considered illegal in all four lawful Sirius Houses.
