Differential Effects of Socialization Agents on Music Piracy
We simultaneously examine the effects of five major socialization agents on university students’ piracy definitions and behavior. Findings show that close-other agents (peers, Internet) directly impact both definitions and behavior, whereas distal-other agents (parents, music industry) impact piracy behavior only indirectly through definitions. These effects differ across consumer segments.
