Research: Watching Pirated Porn Online More Acceptable Than Pirating Music
 

Watching Pirated Porn Online More Acceptable Than Pirating Music

A survey conducted by the New Zealand based research firm UMR Research found that nearly half of the respondents think that it?s morally okay to watch porn on the Internet. Downloading music and movies illegally, on the other hand, is frowned upon by an overwhelming majority of the respondents.

Firstly, most of the adult entertainment is actually viewed on sites that are dominated by copyright infringing content. So, many of the people who watch porn online are actually pirating as well, without realizing it.

Another remarkable finding was that people seem to be fine with copyright infringement if it?s on a video streaming site such as YouTube. Of all respondents, 31 percent said that it is morally acceptable to stream copyrighted TV-shows on YouTube, while only 13 percent believed that downloading copyrighted video was morally okay.

I bet a study would also reveal that 99% of the people who bitch about pirated content are guilty of downloading pirated content themselves.
