One set of data found that many pirates “claim to be unaware that the means by which they download pirated entertainment are illegal”(Crotty, 2012). With public service announcements on television every day about topics ranging from weather emergencies to dyslexia, there could also be announcements about what music piracy is and why it’s illegal. After public service announcements were done in the UK for pirating DVDs, a survey found that more people believed downloading DVDs illegally was “an embarrassment” (Crotty, 2012). If a similar campaign to that of the UKs was done for music pirating, people would be more educated about music piracy and its consequences. In turn, they would realize that piracy is wrong and be less likely to pirate
