Quietly I evaluated, copied and sold (7)

I believe the answer is:

pirated

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'copied and sold' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'quietly i evaluated' is the wordplay.
'quietly' becomes 'p' (p for piano and quiet).
'evaluated' becomes 'rated' (rating is a kind of evaluating).
'p'+'i'+'rated'='PIRATED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pirated that I've seen before include "Used in defiance of copyright" , "knocked off" , "Copied" , "Published without permission" .)
