Abstract

Research suggests that those individuals engaging in music piracy have little concern for the potentially negative consequences of engaging in this illegal activity. This study aims to build on previous research which finds that sub-cultural piracy knowledge is effectively transmitted online. Explicitly, this study aims to observe the various justifications people forward to rationalise engagement in music piracy, in accordance with Sykes and Matza’s (1957) widely researched neutralization theory, and if techniques used to rationalize behaviours are shared amongst those individuals found to be discussing and engaging in music piracy online. The research examines naturally occurring discourse across three online settings, finding a widespread perception that there is ‘no harm done’ and that tips to work around web-blocking are exchanged online, including in public spaces such as Twitter. However, differences were found in the beliefs and attitudes of the sample. The study raises key conceptual issues about the theory used.

人们对音乐盗版的看法从何而来，又是如何分享的

研究表明，那些从事音乐盗版的人很少关心从事这种非法活动的潜在负面后果。本研究的目的是在前人研究的基础上，发现亚文化盗版知识在网络上有效传播。明确地说，本研究旨在观察人们根据Sykes和Matza(1957)广泛研究的中和理论，为音乐盗版行为合理化所提出的各种理由，以及用于合理化行为的技术是否在那些被发现正在讨论和参与在线音乐盗版的个人之间共享。该研究调查了三种网络环境中自然发生的话语，发现人们普遍认为“不会造成伤害”，并且在网上(包括推特等公共场所)交换了解决网络封锁的技巧。然而，在样本的信念和态度上发现了差异。该研究提出了关于所使用理论的关键概念问题。

IJCC is an unique Diamond open access, not for profit international journal, where the author(s) need not pay article processing charges / page charges and it is totally free for both the authors and the audience. IJCC will focus on all aspects of cyber/computer crime: Forms of Cyber Crime, Impact of cyber crimes in the real world, Policing Cyber space, International Perspectives of Cyber Crime, Developing cyber safety policy, Cyber Victims, Cyber Psychopathology, Geographical aspects of Cyber crime, Cyber offender behavior, cyber crime law, Cyber Pornography, Privacy & Anonymity on the Net, Internet Fraud and Identity Theft, Mobile Phone Safety, Human Factor of Cyber Crime and Cyber Security and Policy issues, Online Gambling, Copyright and Intellectual property Law.

The IJCC will be a nodal centre to develop and disseminate the knowledge of cyber crimes primarily from a social science perspective to the academic and lay world. The journal publishes theoretical, methodological, and applied papers, as well as book reviews. We do not publish highly technical cyber forensics / digital forensics papers and papers of descriptive / overview nature.
