Research-in-Progress: Determinants of Software Piracy Behavior in Saudi Arabia

Jaffar Ahmad Alalwan

Abstract— Software piracy is a crime that the legislative authority in many countries tries to avoid by enforcing different types of penalties. Although, the problem of software piracy has received considerable academic consideration, limited concern is given to analyzing the software piracy by criminological theories in developing countries. Criminological theories are more consistent with software piracy in order to understand and prevent such illegal behavior. The objective of this paper is to fill this gap by looking at the software piracy in Saudi Arabia through the lens of contamination theory.

Index Terms— Software piracy, containment theory, theory of planned behavior.
