Microdeviation: Observations on the Significance of Lesser Harms in Shaping the Nature of Cyberspace
Deviant Behavior
This article argues that application of the term “cybercrime” is overly expansive and by this nature exclusive of lesser deviancies, or “microdeviations.” These relatively minor deviant actions are frequently encountered online but are ineffectively checked by regulation. Their banal nature contributes to normalization, informing manufactured uncertainty and moral panic. Several examples of microdeviation are explored emphasizing the intersection of normalization and anxiety and the potential impact on digital spaces. While this issue is only part of the greater societal impact of informationalization, it nonetheless raises important questions as the global north progresses toward harmonizing Internet regulations.

Music Identities, Individualization, and Ownership Shifts: Empowering a Litigious Paradigm of Copyright Protection
Sociology of Crime, Law and Deviance, Volume 18
The purpose of this chapter is to relate to the reader how overlapping advancements in technology and the diffusion of popular music into the habitus of listeners has provided the framework for an instrumental rationalization of litigious approaches to copyright protection by their owners. Namely, the personalization of music which has evolved with the aid of technological advancements has privatized music consumption thus establishing socio-legal parameters that limit consumption to an individual action.

Factors Influencing Music Piracy
Criminal Justice Studies
A number of studies have illustrated that age, sex, computer skills, access to broadband Internet services, and number of devices owned by a respondent are effective predictors of engagement in electronic music piracy. However, these findings have relied on data collected from undergraduate student samples. This paper reassesses factors of music piracy using a more representative sample of the general population. Using a logistic regression model, the findings suggest that most of the variables considered in past research significantly increase the odds connected with public engagement in electronic music piracy.
