Influencing factors of marketplaces and technology have left a deep effect on the music industry. Insisting on the threats coming from P2P technologies, agents of this industry in some countries are continuing to seek for punitive laws against those who present a huge number of music to others to copy. In Iran, however, few laws have been regulated and multimedia files available on the internet have found a wholly new and extremely aggressive form of media behaviors. This study is aimed at developing a model for testing the factors which predict downloading purposes by college students to gain insight into their future behaviors.
