Several factors have been identified as contributing to digital piracy, including the availability and accessibility of pirated content (Gopal, 2004), the perceived value of the content (Choi, 2011), and the effectiveness of anti-piracy measures (Benkler, 2006). The "Aladdin torrent" phenomenon provides a useful case study to examine these factors and their impact on the film industry.

Digital piracy has become a significant concern for the film industry, with many studies highlighting the negative impact on revenue and the challenges of combating it (Walsh, 2012; Cizmarik, 2017). The ease of access to digital content, combined with the perceived anonymity of online activities, has contributed to the proliferation of digital piracy (Kramer, 2016). The use of torrent technology, in particular, has become a popular means of sharing and downloading copyrighted content (Sundqvist, 2015).
