Online piracy practice as a risk factor
ENAccording to M. Castells, technological changes appeared in the second half of the 20th century. They linked different areas of activities to a common digital language that created, stored, received, processed and transmitted information. The Information and Communication Revolution created conditions for the spread of cybercrime. The prevention of cybercrime is carried out by creating preventive control measures, such as signing international directives and enacting laws regulating security options. In its legal practice, Lithuania has established a number of safeguards to ensure the security of electronic data and information systems, the integrity of copyright law, etc. Unfortunately, the existing judicial practice shows that the established legal norms are not always implemented in practice. According to various studies, Lithuania is named as one of the leading countries in software piracy in the European Union. The aim of this report is to reveal how young people (16-29 years of age) understand and assess online piracy. The report discusses the attitudes of the Lithuanian society and a group of young people to the phenomenon of online piracy, risks and control [p. 45].
