Description
Summary:This paper illustrates determinants that drive a student to engage in software piracy. This study tries to pinpoint the reasons why piracy is committed, allowing the administration to create policies that will reduce the incidence of piracy while ultimately benefitting the students by attacking the problem at its root. Ten independent variables will be tested which are self-control, moral beliefs, deviant peers, software pirating attitude, male (gender), age, computer use, income, perception of price of licensed software, and tenure in the university while the dependent variable is the software piracy rate.
