“…Attitude towards digital piracy is the key factor in influencing consumers’ intention to pirate digital product. This confirms previous empirical findings in several other developing countries, such as Barbados (Alleyne, Soleyn, & Harris, ), China (Chan & Lai, ; Chan et al, ; Wang et al, ; Yoon, ), Jordan (Aleassa et al, ), Indonesia (Arli et al, ; Casidy et al, ), Israel (Shoham, Ruvio, & Davidow, ) and Turkey (Akbulut, ). In terms of the determinants of consumer attitude towards digital piracy, deterrence theory seems to have a potential for the Indonesian context.…”

“…Consumers’ attitude towards digital piracy refers to an individual's favourable or unfavourable assessment regarding committing digital piracy. Previous empirical studies indicated that individuals who have a positive attitude towards digital piracy intend to pirate (Aleassa, Pearson, & McClurg, ; Arli, Tjiptono, & Porto, ; Casidy et al, ; Phau et al, ). Therefore, it is postulated that: H1 Consumers’ attitude toward digital piracy will positively influence consumers’ intention to pirate digital products .…”
The purpose of the current study is to explore the influence of young consumers’ religiosity on their attitude and intention towards digital piracy. Despite continuous efforts from the government and industries, global digital piracy is still on the rise with developing countries leading the way of the most pirated nations. Interestingly, religiosity is also highest in developing countries which is the focal aim of this study. Using a sample from Indonesia (n = 576), the largest Muslim population in the world, the present study found that religiosity significantly influences consumers’ attitude towards digital piracy, where consumers who are less religious are more receptive towards digital piracy. The results of this study will have important implications to religious leaders, software and music industry and public policymakers operating in developing countries.

“…The theory has been applied and adapted to many types of voluntary behaviors, particularly consumer behaviors, including purchasing soft drinks, gasoline, toothpaste, banking, sports tickets, restaurants and food tourism (Bagozzi et al 2000;Kim et al, 2011;Ryan and Bonfield 1980;Sheppard et al 1988). More recently, the theory has been applied to online contexts, such as online stock trading (Ramayah et al 2009), software piracy (Aleassa et al 2011), cyberbullying (Doane et al 2014), sustainable purchasing contexts such as buying green products (Ramayah et al 2010), green information technology products (Mishra et al 2014) and purchasing green energy brands (Hartmann and Apaolaza-Ibanez 2012).…”
Collaborative consumption websites have enabled consumers to focus on shared access to products rather than owning them. This study aims at developing a comprehensive theoretical model to explain consumer outcomes for collaborative consumption. It develops and tests a structural equation model using partial least squares path modelling and survey data collected from a car-sharing website. The results suggest that consumer intentions to rent are driven primarily by perceived economic, environmental and social benefits through the mediator of perceived usefulness, and enjoyment, in turn driven by sense of belonging to the sharing community. Interestingly, social influence did not play a role. When making word-of-mouth recommendations, in addition to these factors, consumers also take website trust into account, underpinned by the structural assurances of the website. The paper rounds off further implications of the research for theory and practice.
“…Generation Ys (those born between 1980-2000 1 ) are the first generation to have grown-up with the Internet which has made it easier for them to engage in unethical activities such as; online pornography, hate-sites, bomb/drug making websites, copyright violation (Hope 2006) and pirating software (Aleassa et al 2011;Liao, Lin and Liu 2010;Phau and Ng, 2010;Global Software Piracy Study, 2009, IFPI Digital Music Report 2010. This is partly because of the Internet's separate culture or "Netiquette" (Johnston and Johal 1999) which; enhances a false sense of reality, lowers potential levels of detection, lessens punishment for potential miscreants, allows the adoption of a virtual persona (Freestone and Mitchell 2004) and results in Internet risk perceptions being non-existent (Hope 2006).…”

AbstractWe examine the role of parental style vs peer influence on Generation Y's attitudes towards online unethical activities using a survey of a matched parent-child sample.Results suggest that a protective parental style has the greatest impact on Generation Y's online ethical attitudes, while a strict discipline style has no significant influence.Peers are more influential, but not as influential as when there is agreement between parents and their children on a specific activity. Methodologically, the research highlights the necessity to measure family dyads and assess whether or not parents and their children's perceptions are the same.
