Based on modern ambiguity and historical comparison, this work argues for a variety of “pirate” types that digital pirates cannot be treated as a singular concept. Many of the theories of digital piracy fail to adequately explain the behaviour or to address a possible absent perception of wrong-doing. Whether civil or criminal in nature, research suggests that pirates may not perceive their actions as necessarily deviant or morally wrong. The legal context also has become less clear, with expressed legal purposes often diverging from the application of the law. Digital piracy is difficult to define due to the often ambiguous quality of digital interactions. This research examines why “pirate” has come to be the term used to describe such a vast set of different activities and behaviours associated with copyright infringement.
