Category:Digital Piracy

Most adults in today’s society recognize the consequences of theft. To them, illegally downloading a song or ripping a DVD carries the same weight as walking out of the grocery store with the an unpaid gallon of milk. Digital Natives, on the other hand, are growing up in a post-Napster world where most of their peers condone casual piracy. From watching uploaded TV shows to getting an upcoming album or movie before the rest of the neighborhood, the youth’s incentives to pirate media significantly outweigh the possible consequences.
