A extrema disponibilidade, diversidade de escolha e facilidade de acesso para quem possui banda larga em seus computadores fez crescer o download de músicas pela Internet, revolucionando o mundo fonográfico. O objetivo geral deste estudo é identificar quais fatores, na perspectiva do consumidor, têm maior influência no download gratuito de música pela Internet através de uma pesquisa exploratória de duas fases. Na primeira fase, qualitativa, foram realizadas entrevistas não estruturadas com usuários e consumidores de redes peer-to-peer de download de música pela Internet e entrevista semi-estruturada com um ex-executivo da indústria fonográfica. Na fase seguinte, quantitativa, foram aplicados questionários estruturados a pessoas que efetuam download de música pela Internet. Adotou-se a regressão linear múltipla como modelo para interpretar os dados colhidos junto à amostra e testar as hipóteses relacionadas as variáveis: acessibilidade ao produto, percepção de injustiça no preço e faixa etária. Os resultados sugerem a não rejeição das três hipóteses estudadas. / The dissemination of the mp3 format as standard for archives of music, coupled with the growth of the Internet, has shown a powerful network of online distribution of musico The extreme availability, diversity of choice and ease of access for those who have broadband on their computers grew to download songs over the Internet, revolutionizing the world phonographic. The aim of this study is to identify which factors, from the perspective of consumers, have more influence on the free download of music via the Internet through an exploratory research in two phases. In the first phase, qualitative, unstructured interviews were conducted with consumers and users of peer-to-peer downloading of music over the Internet and semistructured interview with a former executive of the music industry. In the following phase, quantitative, structured questionnaires were applied to people who download music from the Internet. It was adopted a multiple linear regression model to interpret the data collected from the sample and to test the hypotheses: product accessibility, perceptions of injustice in the price and age. The results suggest not rejecting the three studied hypotheses.

Technology has become closely interwoven with our lives, positioning us as authors of large and diverse databases. These extensive collections of digital assets will be left behind as digital legacies after users eventually die. Addressing the inevitability of death in digital systems, including considerations for pre-configuring, or accessing these digital legacies, calls for thanatosensitivity in design. As a relatively new field, thanatosensitive HCI research on digital legacy has primarily focused on data storage and security as well as social networking systems. However, people might create online content that can be of relevance postmortem beyond the next of kin and private network, such as contributions to digital commons communities. In my research, I explore challenges and opportunities for thanatosensitive design in the context of digital commons communities by examining two design cases as samples of that area: GitHub and the Free Music Archive. Through a process inspired by programmatic design research, I followed a mixed method approach including literature reviews, interviews, workshop sessions, and iterative design synthesis. The outcome is a guidebook consisting of annotated portfolios with design exemplars for each design case, accessible to different stakeholders for further collaboration. Drawing on the annotations and intersections between both cases, I frame the knowledge contributions of this study as insights from the design process, aiming to provide directions for future research on thanatosensitivity in systems for digital commons contributions.
