Where I've been and what I've found:
This is an article/paper I discovered on Google: Scholar which sets up different mathematical models to describe the music market when downloading is possible and when it is not.

This is a paper that was written by an economics student at the University of Chicago; also found on Google: Scholar. In it he looks at the roots of the internet piracy phenomenon of the late 90s- early 2000s with sites such as Napster and KaZaa.

This blog includes information about a study where 204 college students were monitored to better understand their illegal downloading activities. Students where also given an anonymous survey to answer.
