Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2015/Illegal downloading motivation in Australia

Comments

Hi, I hope you don't mind me starting this talk page; I just wanted to draw your attention to a study:

Cenite, M., Wang, M. W., Peiwen, C., & Chan, G. S. (2009). More Than Just Free Content- Motivations of Peer-to-Peer File Sharers. Journal of Communication Inquiry, 33 (3), 206-221. DOI: 10.1177/0196859909333697.

It's available here: http://jci.sagepub.com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/content/33/3/206.full.pdf+html

This study contains a helpful overview of a variety of motivations for illegal downloading. The literature review mentions the findings of articles by Giesler & Pohlmann (2003) and Lessig (2004), listing motivations such as:

A substitute for purchasing

Sampling content before purchasing

Accessing content that is not widely available in mainstream pop culture, due to less demand

Accessing content that has gone out-of-print, but is still protected within copyright

Some of the aforementioned references may also be useful to look into.

The actual research identifies the following factors from a sample within the research's Singaporean context:

Content being difficult to find (old or out-of-print, niche market, or subject to censorship)

Delays for international content

It also suggests that uploaders are motivated by norms of reciprocity within peer-to-peer networks, and although this is outside the scope of the question and structure you have devised, it may be an interesting side-note or subsection if you have the space and/or time.

Hope this helps!

Hello, thought it may be interesting to look at the cultural differences in motivation to illegal download This article explores American and Korean college students use of file-sharing sites. >Sang, Y., Lee, J.

Suggestions

Hello. Your book chapter is interesting and you cover a range of issues and provide detailed information. I think its really important to explain in-depth what the australian government is doing to combat illegal downloads. Maybe also look at some theories which apply to the motivation of illegal downloading (e.g. drive theory or social learning theory). You could also discuss what the effects of netflix and fox are having on the illegal downloading industry.

Ive suggested a few newspaper articles which discuss the actions the Australian government are taking regarding illegal downloading. http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/digital-life-news/pirate-hunt-is-this-the-end-of-australias-love-affair-with-illegal-downloading-20150410-1mi2rl.html http://theconversation.com/explainer-australias-three-strikes-plan-to-curb-illegal-downloads-37967 http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/illegal-downloading-throttles-australia/story-e6frg996-1227452364140 Best of luck and I look forward to reading your chapter soon :) --U3034876 (discuss • contribs) 09:40, 23 October 2015 (UTC) http://theconversation.com/explainer-australias-three-strikes-plan-to-curb-illegal-downloads-37967

Hi, I Just noticed that the games of thrones does not have a "figure x" before the caption, i just had a look and I'm pretty sure pictures need the APA guidelines as well.

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 03:28, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via Moodle, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a fantastic chapter on contemporary topic which makes effective use of the wiki environment and provides an integrated, indepth, but very readable synthesis of psychological theory and research on the topic. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Theory Theory is well covered and presents a well-balanced perspective. Main suggestion: Some of the discussed predictors of ID seem to be positive and some negative, but this could be explained more clearly (e.g., "he motivation to illegally download was associated with ego-defensive motivations of fearing external factors, such as appearing 'uncool'" - what is the direction of this association? There is a similar need with the AFT value-expressive function. The example/case study was helpful. Research Research is well covered, particularly given that is a relatively new topic. Written expression Written expression is generally very good. Layout is excellent. Use default heading styles; remove bold The chapter is well-structured. See earlier comments about heading casing Add bullet-points for See also and External links. Tables and/or Figures are used effectively. Learning features The chapter makes excellent use of interwiki links to other book chapters and to relevant Wikipedia articles. Grammar and proofreading is generally very good. Note that "that" is missing from several sentences (e.g., see my copyedits). APA style The APA style for the reference list is very good; remove issue numbers for seriated journals.

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Moodle site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is a solid, well-prepared presentation. Structure and content Well structured and organisd. Consider condensing the presentation to cover less material because, for example, slide 2 wasn't shown long enough to be easily read. Excellent take-away messages / summary. Communication Avoid overmentioning "the/this chapter". This should be a stand-alone presentation on the topic. Audio is clear and well-paced. Production quality Overall, well produced. Rename the title to remove "Motivation and emotion 2015" (not relevant to an average punter viewer). Description is minimal but sufficient. Also include link back to the book chapter, license details, and possibly include references and image attributions. The copyright licenses and sources for the images used is not indicated - there may have been copyright violation unless you own the copyright to the images used or these were public domain images. A copyright license for the presentation is not indicated (i.e., in the description or in the presentation slides). No link is provided back to the book chapter.
