| Abstract | Anecdotal evidence from the software industry shows us that digital pirates sometimes change their illegal behavior on a case-by-case basis and become paying customers of the same good they already possess. Pilot data for this project suggests that consumers are more likely (significant mean-shift) to remain a pirate rather than convert to a paying customer if the subject is reminded of their prior non-piracy behavior. Conversely, if a consumer is reminded of past piracy behavior, they are equally likely to pirate a new good in the future, consistent with the likelihood of piracy in the case mentioned prior. This suggests consumers may be lured away by the momentary temptation of piracy, overriding their larger goal of not being a pirate. This is a work in progress. Our continued objective is to explain the underlying decisions that subjects make as they are nudged away from being pirates, and reinforce policies that should be used by industry to encourage this behavior. |
