Abstract

Recently, software piracy is one of the serious crimes for the digital materials. It makes economically devasting to the software industry and the market. In particular, it is a widespread phenomenon among university students in Korea and negative affects in measuring social and cultural level. Many studies have been focused on the users' intention of the software piracy for making anti-piracy policy. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting university students' software piracy intention. The survey includes responses from 271 university students in a school of business adminstration. The research model was estimated with multiple regression. The analysis showed results that user's characteristics, subjective norms, and perceived software quality were significantly related to intention of software piracy, but security policy was not. Perceived importance of intellectual property has negative impact on user's software piracy intention. Based on the findings, we suggest the implications for developing and implementing appropriate policies for anti-piracy.

오늘날 소프트웨어 불법복제는 디지털 저작물에 대한 심각한 범죄 중 하나로 소프트웨어 개발업체와 시장에 경제적인 측면에서 막대한 손실을 입히고 있다. 더욱이 대학생들 사이에 불법복제가 만연되어 있어 국내의 사회 문화적 윤리적 수준을 평가하는데 부정적 영향을 미치고 있다. 이에 따라 기존 여러 연구들에서 사용자의 복제의도에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 대해 평가함으로써 반복제 정책을 수립하는데 도움을 주고자 하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 국내 대학생들의 소프트웨어 불법복제 의도에 미치는 영향요인에 대해 평가하는데 있다. 이를 위해 경영학과 학부생 271명으로부터 설문 조사하였으며, 연구모형은 다중회귀분석을 통해 추정하였다. 실증분석 결과에 의하면 내 보안정책은 학생들에게 아무런 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 사용자 특성, 주관적 규범, 소프트웨어 품질은 복제의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치며, 개인의 지적재산권에 관한 인지는 복제의도에 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 불법복제를 줄이기 위한 적절한 정책수립에 도움을 줄 것으로 판단된다.
