Samenvatting

An investigation into whether or not young people studying in higher education in the Netherlands have modified their download behaviour, in the light of a legal obligation to block The Pirate Bay (TPB) by Dutch Internet Service Providers (ISPs). In the lawsuit, it is argued that a blockade by the ISPs would be an effective measure to stop downloading from The Pirate Bay. In this study the target group was asked if they think that their download behaviour is modified by the blockade.
