Digital Piracy: A Multidimensional Perspective Abstract This chapter provides a snapshot of the existing status of digital piracy across different countries and enumerates the current laws governing digital piracy in India. It provides a description of the overall study that has been discussed in subsequent chapters. It also shares the process through which the questionnaire used for the study has developed alongside validation and quantitative and qualitative data analyses. The chapter details out the methodology followed as a part of the study. It concludes by listing the limitations of the present study followed by an overall conclusion. Sanjeev P. Sahni, Indranath Gupta Chapter 2. Awareness To Reduce Digital Piracy Abstract The issue of piracy is largely viewed through a single lens. It is assumed that only those who cannot afford legitimate copies of software, music, or movies indulge in piracy. This chapter analyzes the behavioral trends of individuals who indulge in piracy in India. It suggests that awareness programs and policies would help in reducing digital piracy. Sanjeev P. Sahni, Indranath Gupta Chapter 3. Ethics, Morality and Norms: Do They Inhibit Digital Piracy? Abstract Individuals are not always conscious that they are in any way involved in the act of purchasing pirated software, books, movies, or music. The individual motivation to download illegally does not only come from the ease of access or financial convenience. It stems from the idea of how they perceive digital piracy. The chapter assesses the role of psychosocial and cultural factors that affect the rates of piracy. Furthermore the chapter also looks at the descriptive norms, which are the mean or the average prevalence of digital piracy among the population. Sanjeev P. Sahni, Indranath Gupta Chapter 4. Perceived Punishment and Digital Piracy: Certainty, Celerity and Severity of Digital Piracy Perceived punishment analyzes the perception of people regarding the severity of the punishment with regard to the act of digital piracy. This chapter, within the framework of deterrence theory and other behavioral theories, explains how punishment plays an important role in curbing digital piracy. It also analyzes the perception that the more severe the nature of punishment perceived by people, the lesser will be the indulgence in the crime. Sanjeev P. Sahni, Indranath Gupta Mehr anzeigen Chapter 5. Neutralization Techniques: Means to Diffuse Responsibility Even when individuals are aware of their illegal actions, they continue to indulge in piracy by taking umbrage under "moral holiday" and put forth various techniques to "neutralize" their guilt and justify their actions. It is not just lack of awareness of the consequences; instead, the chapter looks at general neutralization of the guilt when committing the act of piracy. The chapter clarifies the general beliefs and norms in connection with different theories that are used to explain and justify the act of piracy. Sanjeev P. Sahni, Indranath Gupta Chapter 6. Peer Group Association Promotes Digital Piracy Abstract In the context of digital piracy, observations through different studies have shown that social environment plays a significant role in determining the attitude and behavior of an individual. This chapter starts with a closer look at the nature of peer associations and how peer relationship can change the behavior in schools, universities, and workplaces. It looks at the nature of peer associations through the review of literature of the theories of behavioral science with legal reasoning of peer-to-peer (P2P) networking and landmark decisions. Sanjeev P. Sahni, Indranath Gupta Chapter 7. Novelty Seeking: Exploring the Role of Variety Seeking Behavior in Digital Piracy Abstract Novelty seeking behavior constitutes one of the primary consumer motivations for purchasing pirated content and has as such become one of the most important factors in explaining consumers' attitude towards piracy. The chapter discusses the definition of novelty seeking both with reference to the consumers' choices and a temperamental dimension of personality. Many studies have been conducted by market researchers, economists, and psychologists that use variety seeking or novelty seeking as a lens for analyzing and understanding consumer purchase decisions. The chapter examines the psychological roots of why people are drawn to novelty seeking behavior and how the element of novelty seeking has become indelibly linked with digital piracy. Sanjeev P. Sahni, Indranath Gupta Chapter 8. Role of Self-Control in Digital Piracy Abstract Self-control is generally considered to regulate undesirable behavior and is a conscious effort to regulate actual behavior. Individuals with low self-control are more likely to project instant gratification. As a result, they are less likely to wait for the original version of digital media. They will be more attracted towards thrill, ease, and immediate acquisition and will be less sensitive towards copyright associated with a particular digital media. The chapter demonstrates the relationship between self-control and digital piracy. In the context of the research findings, this chapter analyses multiple self-control theories and the existing research literature. Sanjeev P. Sahni, Indranath Gupta Chapter 9. Role of Self-Efficacy and Ability Towards the Act of Digital Piracy Abstract Self-efficacy is the process through which change in behavior occurs. Motivation to perform a behavior is influenced by the expectancy of a desired outcome as well as the belief in one's capability to perform actions to achieve that desired outcome. The chapter demonstrates the relationship between self-efficacy and digital piracy. In the context of the research findings, this chapter analyzes multiple self-efficacy theories and the existing research literature. Sanjeev P. Sahni, Indranath Gupta Chapter 10. Pro-industry Outlook: Consumers' Attitudes and Behaviors Towards Digital Piracy Abstract It has often been stated that "piracy could end the industries," but many disagree with the notion, thereby giving rise to the quintessential debate of whether industries truly suffer because of piracy. The chapter analyzes consumers' attitudes and behaviors towards the industries. It also takes an expansive look at the social costs and benefits that allegedly affect the industries because of digital piracy. The use of the suffix "pro" denotes that the describer is in favor of or possesses a favorable opinion. When people perceive whether or not they are pro-industry, it refers to whether or not the people are predisposed to act or hold a belief that is beneficial or not detrimental to their perceived stakeholders in the industry.

This book builds an empirical basis towards creating broader prevention and intervention programs in curbing digital piracy. It addresses the psychosocial, cultural and criminological factors associated with digital piracy to construct more efficient problem-solving mechanisms. Digital piracy including online piracy involves illegal copying of copyrighted materials. This practice costs the software industry, entertainment industry, and governments billions of dollars every year. Reports of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and Business Software Alliance (BSA) view piracy largely in the light of economic factors; the assumption being that only those who cannot afford legitimate copies of software, music, and movies indulge in it. Drawing on research and theories from various disciplines like psychology, sociology, criminology, and law, the authors have designed an empirical study to understand the contribution of psychological, cultural and criminological factors to digital piracy. The chapters include data from India and China, which continue to be on the Special 301 report priority watch list of the WIPO, and Serbia, which has been on the watch list 4 times. They examine the role of self-control, self-efficacy, perceived punishment severity, awareness about digital piracy, peer influence, neutralization techniques, novelty seeking, pro-industry factors and other socio-demographic factors in predicting digital piracy. This book addresses a large readership, comprising academics and researchers in psychology, criminology and criminal justice, law and intellectual property rights, social sciences, and IT, as well as policymakers, to better understand and deal with the phenomenon of digital piracy.
