Abstract

The piracy of academic textbooks is neither more nor less complex than is piracy of most other forms of digital content. Much has been written about digital piracy in general but rather less about the specific topic of piracy of electronic academic texts. Hence, the literature review below, which collects what has been written to date on this subject. As a somewhat 'up to the minute' topic, much relevant literature exists only in the form of blog posts and popular-press articles, although the academic journal press is also taking note. It is at least in part to unify these perspectives that we have compiled this review. Technical details, current information on litigation, alternatives to piracy, and analyses of the ethical and social-psychological aspects of digital piracy among students are all discussed.
