Abstract

A 2013 study of what European citizens think about Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) demonstrated that not everyone fully accepts the contribution to the economy they make and that young people in particular can be sceptical. In response to these results the Office set out to try and better understand the attitudes of 15-24 year olds via the current IP Youth Scoreboard, which will be repeated on a regular basis to monitor evolution. The Scoreboard covers young people in all 28 Member States and its main objective is to gather knowledge on how young people behave online in terms of Intellectual Property Rights. In particular, it explores what are the main drivers and barriers to acquiring digital content and physical goods offered from both legal and illegal sources. Finally, the study assesses what could be done to improve the situation.

Main Results of the Study

To briefly summarise a few of the main findings, the report reveals that young European citizens feel there is a lack of information about IP that would help them understand the issues. They also say that the information that is available is not communicated effectively to their age group. These factors combine to produce an atmosphere of indifference so that many young people who have been brought up in this digital age do not care whether they infringe IP or not. Around one third of the study respondents also identify the lack of availability of the films or television series that their colleagues from the US or other places have access to as a factor driving them to illegal sources. Finally, and possibly most importantly, two thirds of those polled identified price as a significant driver for using illegal sources.

Policy Implications as Stated By Author

To sum up the results of both qualitative and quantitative parts of the report, a good offer in terms of price and availability coupled with a well-designed communication campaign including safety and moral arguments as well as information on what is legal and what is not and why, provided in a neutral tone and delivered by the right ambassadors, is likely to be the most effective way to change the behaviours and attitudes of young people towards IP infringement.
