Dec. 11 EDUCAUSE Live to Cover Student Perspectives on Music Piracy

Created by Colleen Luckett (EDUCAUSE) on December 04, 2006
ELIVE logoThe December 11 EDUCAUSE Live Web seminar will cover students’ viewpoints on the controversial topic of music piracy. In response to increasing rates of media piracy, particularly among college-aged students, the content industry has tried a variety of methods to dissuade questionable file-sharing practices, including airing commercials, filing lawsuits, and urging schools to provide access to sanctioned legal services, but progress to date has been minimal. Students themselves have not been consulted about their actual attitudes and behavior in this arena, although diverse motives have been ascribed to them. To gain a richer understanding of this key demographic, 42 undergraduates from a major East Coast university were interviewed at length about their media-acquisition habits and their responses to industry antipiracy efforts.
