Copyright Holders Decision on Piracy

http://www.springerlink.com/content/37060033870l3377/

I decided that this source was a scholarly source because the author is a researcher. It gives a lot of background information on the topic and reasons of why Piracy happens. There is a long list of references at the end giving credence to those whose work had contributed to the making of this article. The intended audience seems to be anyone who doesn't know everything about Digital Piracy, but at least have some kind of scholarly background with digitall technology and the understanding of what a copyright is. The appearance of the article seems to be very direct and to the point, not flashy at all. It also includes graphs with information about the impact of piracy on copyright holders inside the article. This article is very long and contains a large amount of references to continue studying if interested in more of the topic. On every page there is at least one footnote explaining a term that is used with-in the essay that is not really common knowledge to everyone else other than scholars of this field. On page 2 in the footnote it instructs readers to go to a different site to see more information on a topic.
Its main points are the causes of Piracy and the Consequences of Piracy. It also includes Strategic Responses in order to stop Digital Piracy.
