The rapid advancement of digitalization, coupled with the growing trend of industries transitioning to digital platforms, has resulted in a significant upsurge in the number of copyrighted materials available in digital formats. Consequently, this has heightened the susceptibility of digital products to infringement. This article presents the findings of a study that thoroughly examined and probed into issues related to copyright infringement. The study also assessed the awareness of respondents regarding digital copyright infringement. Employing a quantitative survey approach, this research involved participants from local districts situated within one of the states in Malaysia. The research outcomes underscored that a notable portion of copyright infringement instances can be attributed to a lack of awareness regarding copyright among individuals.
