| Summary: | Religiosity has been seen as a powerful determinant of human actions
especially in situations of ethical dilemmas such as digital piracy. Thus, it
has been addressed as a potential informal institution to curtail the
phenomenon. However, previous research indicated a confounding
influence of some contextual factors on the anticipated role of religious
loyalty such as the dominant secular culture. As such, the main objective of
this article is to investigate the role of religious loyalty in combating digital
piracy from the Islamic perspective since loyalty is a core aspect of
Muslim’s society as directly associated with faith. Additionally, this paper
explores the contextual factors in Islamic countries that may influence the
role of religious loyalty in fighting digital piracy. This study involved with
qualitative data, gathered from journal articles and books, and then the
data analysed using content analysis method. The analysis shows that
integrating religion within the campaign toward copyright is potentially
viable provided that other contextual factors are properly tackled |
