An Exploratory Study of Copyright Infringement of Digital Material in Mutah University INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 8, ISSUE 11, NOVEMBER 2019 ISSN 2277-8616 An Exploratory Study Of Copyright Infringement Of Digital Material In Mutah University. Omar Lasassmeh Abstract: This paper provides an exploratory study of copyright infringement of digital material in Mutah University. Copyright infringement levels in the educational organization have consistently ranked higher than other organizations, and this study finds that Mutah University is no exception. Almost a quarter of those surveyed appeared to not understand the legal issues involved in digital or electronic copyright infringement behaviour. However, a majority believe that downloading and sharing digital material illegally is unethical, but they justify piracy from a perception that individual software costs only pennies to produce and represents no harm. The roles of the university procedures in countering copyright infringement also studied. The respondents believed that the university has a responsibility to increase public awareness of copyright infringement issues, but the success of such efforts was limited. The paper summarized some suggestions on copyright infringement, including the use of computer application to detect plagiarism and cheating and the implementation of a unified marketing strategy to raise public awareness of the issue. Index Terms: Digital Piracy, Intellectual Property Rights, Mutah University. —————————— —————————— 1.

The research was based on distributing a questionnaire. This study collected data from 485 respondents, of which 410 were analyzed. The results revealed that a very significant finding that the majority of the investigated students (45%) have already heard the word ‘nanotechnology’, though (72%) of those (45%) do not know about nanotechnology very well. The results of the present study indicated that students have basic or no enough knowledge about nanotechnology. The results also showed that students were with a very superficial knowledge of Nanotechnology. Moreover, none of the examined variables has no significant effect on the perception toward nanotechnology. Even though it is expected that students with higher years of study could show more expertise and acquire more developed topics such as the Nanotechnology concept, the students showed similar knowledge of Nanotechnology regardless of their year in study.
