Piracy in the Digital Era: Psychosocial, Criminological and Cultural Factors
暫譯: 數位時代的盜版：心理社會、犯罪學與文化因素

這本書建立了一個實證基礎，以創建更廣泛的預防和干預計劃來遏制數位盜版。它探討了與數位盜版相關的心理社會、文化和犯罪學因素，以構建更有效的問題解決機制。數位盜版，包括線上盜版，涉及對受版權保護材料的非法複製。這種做法每年使軟體產業、娛樂產業和政府損失數十億美元。世界智慧財產權組織（WIPO）和商業軟體聯盟（BSA）的報告主要從經濟因素的角度看待盜版；假設是只有那些無法負擔合法軟體、音樂和電影的人才會沉迷於此。作者借鑒心理學、社會學、犯罪學和法律等多個學科的研究和理論，設計了一項實證研究，以了解心理、文化和犯罪學因素對數位盜版的貢獻。各章節包括來自印度和中國的數據，這些國家仍然在WIPO的特殊301報告優先監控名單上，以及塞爾維亞，該國已經四次出現在監控名單上。它們檢視了自我控制、自我效能、感知懲罰嚴重性、對數位盜版的認知、同儕影響、中和技術、新奇尋求、支持產業的因素及其他社會人口因素在預測數位盜版中的角色。

這本書針對廣泛的讀者群，包括心理學、犯罪學和刑事司法、法律和智慧財產權、社會科學以及資訊科技的學者和研究人員，以及政策制定者，以更好地理解和應對數位盜版現象。
