 Motivation
 Some of the motives for engaging in copyright infringement are the
following:
 Pricing – unwillingness or inability to pay the price requested by the
legitimate sellers
 Unavailability – no legitimate sellers providing the product in the
country of the end-user: not yet launched there, already withdrawn
from sales, never to be sold there, geographical restrictions on online
distribution and international shipping
 Usefulness – the legitimate product comes with various means
(DRM, region lock, DVD region code, Blu-ray region code) of
restricting legitimate use (backups, usage on devices of different
vendors, offline usage) or comes with non-skippable advertisements
and anti-piracy disclaimers, which are removed in the unauthorized
product making it more desirable for the end-user
Shopping experience – no legitimate sellers providing the
product with the required quality through online
distribution and through a shopping system with the
required level of user-friendliness
Anonymity – downloading works does not require
identification whereas downloads directly from the
website of the copyright owner often require a valid email
address and/ or other credentials
Freedom of Information – Not believing that the idea that
copyright law can or should exist
Existing and proposed laws
Civil law
Copyright infringement in civil law is any
violation of the exclusive rights of the owner.
In U.S. law, those rights include reproduction,
the preparation of derivative works,
distributing copies by sale or rental, and
public performance or display.
 Criminal law
Article 61 of the Agreement on Trade-
Related Aspects of Intellectual Property
Rights (TRIPs) requires that signatory
countries establish criminal procedures
and penalties in cases of "willful trademark
counterfeiting or copyright piracy on a
commercial scale“.
