Genç Kadın ve Erkeklerin Müzik Ürünü Dinleme Cihazı ve Korsan Ürünler Karşısındaki Tutum Farklılıkları(The Attitude Differences of Young Women and Men Against Music Listening Products and Pirates Music Products)
Abstract
All developments taking place in computers, internet, music product formats and audio device technologies have an impact on the location of music product sales, the amount and method of such sales, the people in the music industry and even the industry model itself. In regards to the music industry, which is one that is extremely open to such changes, people’s attitudes towards devices for listening to music and copyright piracy are highly variable. As in the case of worldwide sales, Turkish sales of music products have also been negatively influenced by pirate sales, and the largest group of the buyers are the youth population, therefore resulting in a need of investigation of the attitude of Turkish youth towards these changes and piracy. Hence, the aim of this study is to pinpoint differences in the choice of devices used for listening to music in young women and men, and to investigate their points of view towards physical and digital piracy.
