Descriptive statistics, reliability analysis and factor analysis were employed. The results show that social activity, knowledge and reasons were the key factors that lead students to involve in music piracy. Finally, the study also raises a number of useful recommendations to overcome music piracy among college students. 2014 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/65698/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/65698/1/65698.pdf text en public masters Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences Taslim, Jamaliah
