“…In the context of online piracy, peer-to-peer file sharing, consumers anonymously connecting with others for the purpose of copying electronic content, has significantly affected the software and entertainment industries. For example, total music sales have been declining steadily and growth in digital music sales has slowed to only six percent in 2010 (Arias and Ellis, 2013). While some authors note that sharing does not hurt the survival of topranked albums or movies, it has a negative impact, especially on low-ranked albums and can lead to an accelerated decline in box-office revenue for major studio movie releases leading to millions of dollars in lost revenue (Bhattacharjee et al, 2007;Vany and Walls, 2007).While illegally downloading a song or a movie might not seem like a significant criminal act, in a culture where piracy is accepted, many parties risk not getting paid, which range from the artist or creator of content, to related and indirect contributors (RIAA 2014; Rob and Waldfogel, 2006).…”

“…The development of digital music and online sharing platforms has significantly impacted the ability and the cost of enforcing copyright laws. Researchers have even focused on finding other ways of dealing with income for copyrighted content, including the removal of copyright protection only and the removal of copyright protection combined with a government distribution and subsidy for music production (Arias and Ellis, 2013). This is especially due to a rather difficult endeavor of enforcing copyright laws and making consumers understand the legal risks they are taking.…”

Online piracy is one of the most challenging problems faced by the software and entertainment industries today. Tens of billions of dollars of copyrighted commercial material is exchanged illegally annually due to peer-to-peer networking sites and other downloadable methods, while it is also estimated that digital theft of copyrighted content makes up over 20% of the Internet traffic worldwide (Envisional, 2011; RIAA, 2014). The objective of this study is the analysis of the key country level factors that influence the national piracy rate, which can help practitioners, academics and policy makers. We use a mixed-method approach, with a qualitative study to identify the key online piracy legal issues and macro level antecedents in online consumer discussions. Further, we use the Hunt-Vitell General Theory of Marketing Ethics as a theoretical basis and empirically analyze the importance of cultural, legal and policy variables that are part of different national institutions and systems. Overall, the significance found for our model underlines the fact that numerous factors that are related to a country's cultural values, ethical system and legal system can contribute or deter individuals from illegally sharing and downloading copyrighted electronic content and information.

“…This freedom gets specific legal guarantees in the form of copyright. The rapid development of information technologies and their wide application in all the countries is a social phenomenon called "information revolution" (Arias & Cameron, 2013). Society has refused material copies of work in connection with shift towards turnover of works in digital form.…”

In this paper, we consider legal protection of copyright items in the Internet. The subject of the research is copyright protection of potential heirs on the Internet with the help of modern computer technologies. The purpose of the research is development of a system for copyright protection on the Internet in the case of inheritance. Use of copyright protected intellectual property in computer networks positively differs from any known types of copyright item use, including over-the-air transmission or a message for universal information across the wire. This is due to information physical properties change within digital media, new law features and properties of intellectual product as an object of legal relationship appear, emerges brand new system of public relations, connected with high technology application suggesting copyright dualism. In spite of this fact, many researches propose to inherit works of authorship posted in the Internet in a traditional way by means of will or law. This can be explained by a relatively narrow approach to the understanding of copyright. This understanding is based on the current beliefs about it solely as about an institution of civil law. We believe it necessary to abandon the industry isolationism and, instead, use an integrated approach in the scientific search on the problems of copyright protection on the Internet, and to see the concept of copyright as a complex one at the intersection of different branches of law. The development of modern, including computer technologies exacerbates the problem of protecting the rights of creators of literary, artistic, and scientific works. We propose new approach applicable only to digitized works published in the Internet. For this reason it is necessary to legalize heirship in international free and constrained licenses of Creative Commons and alike, in case of the testator's death, through specifying a potential heir in the will at that (electronic testament). We also propose legislating the electronic form of work as an objective form of expression in international conventions, contracts, and agreements in the area of copyright protection, what will make it possible to give equal rights to printed and electronic copies.
