The young/current generation grew up with and stood upon the crest of this wave of technology, as well as frequent and comfortable use of it and associated services and programs.

Thus, their uses of technology for copyright/IP infringement have seemed all the more natural or even warranted due to the ease of committing such acts; especially when teamed with a rebellious and righteous nature.

I also argue that our generation made up the foremost common users of such networked sharing; and thus these things would at first go neither noticed nor reprimanded, and thus seem okay. Unfortunately this has led to a generation of “bandits” with a cemented belief that the “sharing” or rather stealing that their doing is fine.

At the same time the older generation is responsible for the development of law and/or practices to resolve this dispute despite their lesser technological experience, or even a slight conception in the past that such acts would ever be possible today. Our generation and others who partake in illegal downloading/copyright infringement have thus been able to “remain at large” due to our lightning fast steed of technology.
