ABSTRACT

The theory of convenience suggests that characteristics of white-collar offenders include motive, opportunity, and willingness for deviant behavior. This article discusses the case of offenders developing and supporting the software platform Popcorn Time. The motive seems to be sensation seeking with a deviant identity. The opportunity seems to be unknown and anonymous identity of offenders based on the lack of oversight and guardianship on the Internet. The willingness seems to be lack of self-control as well as disclaim of responsibility for violations of intellectual property rights. A structural model of convenience theory is applied to the case study.

白领犯罪中的便利性：以爆米花时代一名未知犯罪者为例

摘要

便利性理论表明，白领罪犯的特征包括动机，机会和对异常行为的意愿。本文讨论了罪犯开发和支持软件平台Popcorn Time的案例。动机似乎是寻求具有异常身份的感觉。由于缺乏互联网上的监督和监护，这种机会似乎是未知的，并且是犯罪者的匿名身份。这种意愿似乎缺乏自我控制能力，并且不承担对侵犯知识产权的责任。便利性理论的结构模型应用于案例研究。
