[eng] The following research carried out examines the different effects of moral
reminders, in this case positive and negative feedback techniques, on
individual’s willingness to contribute to the music industry buy deciding to use
legitimate means of purchasing rather than downloading pirated music. Other
factors considered were the level of creativity of the individual and how the
internet impacts perceptions of dishonesty in relation to music piracy. A linear
public good games model was applied with participants deciding how many
songs, out of a required 10, to acquire through legitimate means, representing
contributions to the public good, and how many songs to obtain through
unauthorized sites. Participants also answered two questionnaires to determine
their level of creativity and their attitudes and behavior towards music piracy.
Results showed no significant difference between the control group, those
subjected to no moral reminder, and the two groups subjected to either positive
or negative feedback, allowing us to suggest that traditional anti piracy
messages may be ineffective. Creativity showed to have an impact on how the
act of using unauthorized sources is perceived and Digital stealing” by using
unauthorized sites to obtain music was considered far less dishonest than
physically stealing a CD. |
