Literature review:

Introduction:
Copyright infringement is a worldwide problem that has taken a lot of society’s
attention in recent years
...
And it also took a variety of shapes that it
didn’t only limit on infringing the academic articles, but also other artistic or content
creating industries
...
The majority of students use copyrighted content without
knowing the legal consequences of this crime or some don’t even know that this is
an actual crime punishable by law
...
In other words, students do not see copyright infringement
(a big of a deal)
...
In fact, there are almost
4 billion users of the internet which makes it possible to the existence of accessible
free copies of any paid copyrighted content
...

The study examined some of Japanese universities student by giving them survey or
interviewing them
...
In
addition, the interviews that were conducted during the study state some answers
such as “I clearly do not understand the copyright laws” and “I don’t feel the impact

of the copyright laws; I do not worry about the risks”
...


Copyright infringement among university students occurs in several forms
...
In light of this, many of these programs have paidsubscription policies
...
So, they turn to piracy
websites (such as: Pirate Bay) to download a free version of the required programs
...
In fact, Students struggle to get these papers done without have other
research papers of the same topic to gather information from
...
com
...

Let’s put into consideration that copying a research paper from a website without
providing citation, submitting other student’s work with or without their knowledge,
and submitting a paper copied from the internet as their own are other forms of
infringement students may not be aware of
...
Although other law acts stated financial compensations ranging
between 2,500 – 150,000 U
...
dollar for the use of a copyrighted content without the
owner’s permission
...
S
...
K copyright law 1988
...
Many students are not aware
of the legal consequences of using copyrighted content without permission and may
unintentionally infringe on copyright works by not citing or summarizing correctly
from articles
...
Educating students about copyright infringement and
promoting responsible use of copyrighted materials can help to reduce this issue
