But I Trusted You: An Experiment on Digital Piracy and Platform Trust

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

In this study we preform a lab experiment to explore the connection that IT Identity may have in the process of recognizing a moral issue when using a website. The moral issue being explored is digital piracy - specifically the unauthorized consumption of copyrighted material on a streaming website. We tie the established model of the formation of trusting beliefs into a familiar and an unfamiliar website and see how subjects react when a platform they are using reveals that it was being to surpass digital copyright.
