What is the ruling on money earned from YouTube videos that were produced using non-genuine (pirated) editing software, and what must be done to rectify the situation?

It is not permissible to infringe upon protected software or overstep the rights of its owners, especially in commercial matters. Whoever does so, believing it to be free, must compensate the owner for the benefits they missed out on. Juristic councils have issued fatwas prohibiting the infringement of intellectual and invention rights, establishing a financial right for their owners in them. There is no harm in benefiting from the money earned through advertisements from those videos, provided that the rights of the software owners are guaranteed. It is not obligatory to purchase the original version; rather, the transgressor is liable for the value of the benefits the owner missed out on and the damages incurred. This is to be estimated by experts, or one should diligently estimate what they believe will absolve them of liability. If unable to convey the right to the company, one should donate it on behalf of its owners to the poor and needy. One must cease using such software in the future.
