Abstract
Since its inception, the internet has grown into many unforeseen things, including that of a platform for stealing and sharing digital copies of television and film. Online piracy and the role it plays in the artist's business has been a subject of economic study since it began. Using a survey, I seeked to find out how the consumer feels and behaves in regards to online piracy. By applying logistic regression analysis to the data from respondents, we were able to find several insights into the consumer and how they act in regards to purchasing/stealing content. I conclude that more than half of consumers that have pirated a television show, went on to purchase the same television show (DVD, subscription, etc.) later on. Additionally, I was able to find several insights into what leads a consumer to purchase content that they have pirated.
