Research conducted based on previous research that focuses on the behavior of piracy by using The Theory of Planned Behavior Model which is attached from attitude towards behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Piracy is an unethical and illegal behavior so that there is a development of TPB model by adding ethics theory consisting of moral obligation and perceived benefits; as well as a deterrence theory consisting of fear of legal consequences and perceived likelihood of punishment. The research method used in this research by purposive random sampling technique, by distributing questionnaires online using google form. A total 293 college students are completed questionnaires.
