Internet pirates : generational attitudes towards intellectual property online

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Conference Paper

Abstract

This paper investigates intellectual property (IP) issues within the procurement of music on the Internet phenomenon. An exploratory study of 200 respondents who are equally split into the two generational groups of Baby boomers and Generation Y is used to investigate attitudinal differences towards intellectual property concepts. The paper finds support for the propositions that illegal downloading of music files is a wide spread phenomenon and the generational groups differ in their use of the Internet to procure music. Support in part, was found for the proposition that there is a distinct group of music pirates.
