英文文献摘要:
This study examines the persistence of software piracy with internet penetration vis-? -vis of PC users, conditional on Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) institutions. The empirical evidence is based on a panel of 99 countries for the period 1994-2010 and the Generalised Method of Moments. The main finding is that, compared to internet penetration, PC usage is more responsible for the persistence of global software piracy. Knowing how technology affects the persistence of piracy is important because it enables more targeted policy initiatives. We show that the sensitivity of software piracy to IPRs mechanisms is contingent on the specific technology channels through which the pirated software is consumed.
本研究以知识产权(IPRs)机构为条件,考察了随着互联网对个人电脑用户的渗透,软件盗版的持续存在。经验证据是基于1994-2010年期间99个国家的小组和矩量的一般方法。主要发现是,与互联网普及率相比,个人电脑的使用对全球软件盗版的持续存在负有更大的责任。了解技术如何影响盗版的持续存在是很重要的,因为它能使政策举措更具针对性。我们的研究表明,盗版软件对知识产权机制的敏感性,取决于使用盗版软件的特定技术渠道。
