3. Why People Are Okay with Piracy
• Internet morality is different
• Entertainment industry is
viewed as evil
• Content is too expensive
• It’s viewed as a victimless
crime
• Laws should be changed
• No fear of punishment
• Piracy can’t be stopped
anyway

receiving the profits and least wrong when the
industry was described as doing so.
5. Nearly all participants (95%) believed that music

20. FAC says it would like
1) Artists to receive fair

2) And have copyright of their

3) Current copyright owners
should have a “use it or lose it”
policy (they shouldn’t be able to
hold material hostage)
4)The rights of performers should
be equal to the rights of authors.
