The goal of our research is to understand the neutralization techniques used in the case of illegal downloading of music and movies. Torn between social norms that they do not question and their illegal behavior, consumers mobilize neutralization techniques to reduce this tension-filled situation: they “steal” but are not “thieves.” Illegal downloading is not, for them, a transgression claimed and justified by a libertarian ideology, sustained by a community. Rather, it is a commonplace act for which consumers seek to minimize the consequences through the use of neutralization techniques the functioning of which we have detailed.

The purpose of this study is to examine what factors predict college students’ intentions to download digital content through unauthorized peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing sites. This study also attempts to explore how cultural contexts are related to those intentions among college students in the US and Korea. Consistent with previous studies using the theory of planned behavior (TPB), the current study using survey data shows that the theory can predict people’s behavioral intentions in the context of illegal downloading. However, across three different types of variables for predicting intention to download digital content through unauthorized P2P sites (i.e. social psychological variables, TPB variables, and expanded TPB variables), several significant differences were revealed between American and Korean students. The findings show that cultural differences may play an important role with regard to people’s intentions to engage in illegal downloading.

Purpose – Movie piracy is triggered by the release delay of new movies in various countries, especially if novelty awareness is considered an asset among peers. Therefore, novelty seeking becomes a relevant factor in the illegal downloading of movies, especially among a younger population that has a higher propensity to novelty seeking. The purpose of this paper is to study novelty seeking in the context of illegal downloading of movies among a young population. More specifically, this study will highlight the relation of novelty seeking with the frequency of illegal downloading of movies and attitudes towards piracy in general.
Design/methodology/approach – The study is based on data that were obtained via survey in Lithuania. The use of SEM allowed development of a model that integrates novelty seeking with the more typical factors
of digital piracy.
Findings – The study shows a relation between novelty seeking, attitudes towards piracy and the frequency of illegal downloading of movies.
Originality/value – The study shows the importance of novelty seeking in the context of movie piracy. It specifies the relation of novelty seeking with attitude and behaviour, highlighting directions for further research.
