作者:

Highlights:

• Digital piracy is a worldwide problem of great social cost.

• Most theories have little predictive value for digital piracy.

• This study aims to maximize prediction of piracy models.

• We do so by applying social cognitive theory (SCT).

• Our extensive meta-analysis shows SCT is good for prediction.
