"Despite continuing efforts to raise awareness on intellectual property (IP) rights worldwide, fewer people now consider it a crime to download online content from illegal sources or engage in unauthorized file sharing, compared with four years ago. Common reasons cited for online IP rights infringements include convenience and unwillingness to pay for content. IP experts felt that public views on whether illegal downloads or unauthorized file sharing count as theft could have relaxed over the years due to the widespread use of streaming devices in the market.
