|Title=Youth, creativity, and copyright in the digital age

|Abstract=New digital networked technologies enable users to participate in the consumption, distribution, and creation of content in ways that are revolutionary for both culture and industry. As a result, “Digital Natives”—young people growing up in the digital world with access to the technologies and the skills to use them in sophisticated ways—are now confronting copyright law on a regular basis. This article presents qualitative research conducted with students age 12–22 that explores youth understanding, attitudes, and discourse on the topic of digital creativity and copyright law. Our findings suggest that young people operate in the digital realm overwhelmingly ignorant of the rights, and to a lesser degree the restrictions, established in copyright law. They often engage in unlawful behavior, such as illegal peer-to-peer music downloading, yet they nevertheless demonstrate an interest in the rights and livelihoods of creators. Building upon our findings of the disconnect between technical, legal, and social norms as pertaining to copyright law, we present the initial stages of the development of an educational intervention that posits students as creators: the Creative Rights copyright curriculum. Educating youth about copyright law is important for empowering young people as actors in society, both in terms of their ability to contribute to cultural knowledge with creative practices and to engage with the laws that govern society.

|Plain Text Proposition=* Found a lack of knowledge among young people regarding the rights and restrictions inscribed in copyright law. Even when youth are aware of the illegality of their actions in  consuming and sharing copyrighted content online,  their behavior mostly persists.
 
  
* Youth tend to have a vague knowledge of the illegality of copyright infringement, they have almost no awareness of the rights copyright law affords to users to create with copyrighted content.
 
 
* Fear of getting caught—either through a record company lawsuit or by their parents is one motivation for a few students to avoid engaging in infringing activity, another reason repeatedly arose in our interviews: respect for the creator. This view was more prominent among those students who engaged in creative activities themselves.
 
 
* Apparent sincerity of claims varied, the livelihood and interests of the artists were very much present in youth discourse around downloading—suggesting that consideration for the artists.
 
 
* Respect was limited (and emphasized financial impact in particular), a respect for creators and their livelihoods was pervasive in the young people’s discussion of the ethics of using  others’ creative works.
 
 
* Continues by outlining an education program for youth in which above issues are addressed in order to educate youth about copyright.
 
 
Suggest that education, rather than litigation, is the best way to bridge these gaps and reforge connections between creative industries and their young consumers
 
|FundamentalIssue=5. Understanding consumption/use (e.g. determinants of unlawful behaviour; user-generated content; social media),
 
|EvidenceBasedPolicy=E. Fair remuneration (levies; copyright contracts), F. Enforcement (quantifying infringement; criminal sanctions; intermediary liability; graduated response; litigation and court data; commercial/non-commercial distinction; education and awareness),

|Intervention-Response=Suggests education about copyright would be more effective in combating illegal downloading behaviour compared to litigation, at least in term of youth downloading.
