Economic crime from copyright infringement and the internetNowadays, high speed internet connections technologies have anabled copyright to be stolen more efficiently. However, online copyright stolen has been a cause facor of economic crime behavior. Economist Gary backer ( 1968) explained the causes of economic crime behavior is due to the approach taken here follows the economist's usual analysisof choice and assumes that a person commits an offense of the expected utility of whom exceeds the utility whom could get by using whose time and resources t other activities . Som persons become criminals therefore, not because their basic motivation differs from that of other persons, but because their benefits and cost differ. There are two new conceptual models to cause economic crime: the microeconomic, the choice facing each individuals and macroeconomic ( the choice facing society), models of crime. There are the elements most relevant to the crime of copyright infringement from internet reasons. The internet copyright infringement means the use of the internet to acquire or disseminate infringing copes of copyrighted works, particularly music, software and motion pictures. Why internet channel will persuade people to encourage them to attempt to steal any copyrighted works commonly. For example, once a work is downloaded, any subsequent of copying or dissemination in physical form is well within the scope of traditional.

Included within this model, however, was also a microeconomic model of crime: The problem an individual faces hen who chooses whether who commit a certain crime. Thus, it seems internet copyright intringement ought belong to microeconomic model of crime more than macroeconomic model of crime.
