Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2015/Illegal downloading motivation in Australia

Comments
Hi, I hope you don't mind me starting this talk page; I just wanted to draw your attention to a study:

Cenite, M., Wang, M. W., Peiwen, C., & Chan, G. S. (2009). More Than Just Free Content- Motivations of Peer-to-Peer File Sharers. Journal of Communication Inquiry, 33 (3), 206-221. DOI: 10.1177/0196859909333697.

It's available here: http://jci.sagepub.com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/content/33/3/206.full.pdf+html

This study contains a helpful overview of a variety of motivations for illegal downloading. The literature review mentions the findings of articles by Giesler & Pohlmann (2003) and Lessig (2004), listing motivations such as:

A substitute for purchasing

Sampling content before purchasing

Accessing content that is not widely available in mainstream pop culture, due to less demand

Accessing content that has gone out-of-print, but is still protected within copyright

Some of the aforementioned references may also be useful to look into.

The actual research identifies the following factors from a sample within the research's Singaporean context:

Content being difficult to find (old or out-of-print, niche market, or subject to censorship)

Delays for international content

It also suggests that uploaders are motivated by norms of reciprocity within peer-to-peer networks, and although this is outside the scope of the question and structure you have devised, it may be an interesting side-note or subsection if you have the space and/or time.

Hope this helps!

Hello, thought it may be interesting to look at the cultural differences in motivation to illegal download This article explores American and Korean college students use of file-sharing sites. >Sang, Y., Lee, J.

Hello. Your book chapter is interesting and you cover a range of issues and provide detailed information. I think its really important to explain in-depth what the australian government is doing to combat illegal downloads. Maybe also look at some theories which apply to the motivation of illegal downloading (e.g. drive theory or social learning theory). You could also discuss what the effects of netflix and fox are having on the illegal downloading industry.

Ive suggested a few newspaper articles which discuss the actions the Australian government are taking regarding illegal downloading. http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/digital-life-news/pirate-hunt-is-this-the-end-of-australias-love-affair-with-illegal-downloading-20150410-1mi2rl.html http://theconversation.com/explainer-australias-three-strikes-plan-to-curb-illegal-downloads-37967 http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/illegal-downloading-throttles-australia/story-e6frg996-1227452364140 Best of luck and I look forward to reading your chapter soon :) --U3034876 (discuss • contribs) 09:40, 23 October 2015 (UTC) http://theconversation.com/explainer-australias-three-strikes-plan-to-curb-illegal-downloads-37967

Hi, I Just noticed that the games of thrones does not have a "figure x" before the caption, i just had a look and I'm pretty sure pictures need the APA guidelines as well.
