understand the factors that influences individuals to pirate software or to purchase
original software. As students will be the future leaders, this study main objective is
to get the snapshot of the software piracy scenario of students. The target group for
this study is on diploma students, majoring in Information Systems Engineering.
The respondents are divided into two groups, the group that involve in software piracy
activities and the group that does not indulge in software piracy activities. Findings
