Abstract

Nowadays, movie streaming is ubiquitous amongst the younger population, and it is a supposed substitute for movie piracy. Without prejudice to the previous, reasons of various kinds may cause users to download their favorite movies illicitly. The objective of this study is to identify if movie streaming increases movie piracy. For this purpose, an online survey of potential users of movie streaming services was conducted in Chile. The sample was divided into students and not students, and logit models were used to analyze the data obtained. The results indicate that, on one hand, movie streamers are intentions to engage the download movie illegally, and on the other hand, peer pressure explains movie piracy among students.
