Online Piracy and the Transformation of the Audiences' Practices: Case of the Czech Republic
Original language description
The evidence-based paper focuses on the ways the Czech audiences use alternative and illegal sources of media content (films, TV series, music). The paper draws on descriptive data from a representative survey of the Czech population (N=1998, November 2014) and on qualitative inquiry into the everyday practices of the Czech audiences (2012-2015). Our aim is to reconstruct the general picture of the practices related to the consumption of 'pirated' content and to understand to the audiences' motivations for such agency as well as to the audiences' ethical reflexivity of the phenomenon. We address the topic from the theoretical standpoint of critical theory of technology (A. Feenberg) and of the critical and phenomenological approaches to the position of media-related practices within the contexts of everyday life (R. Silverstone, M. Bakardjieva, S. Livingstone). In this regard, we avoid both media-centric and normative approach to the topic. Instead, we employ the context-oriented approach taking into the account the fact that the consumption of content from illegal sources is part of broader sets of practices and that it is subordinated to particular moral economies.
