SUMMARY:

Piracy is a centuries-old practice that emerged in geographical and historical contexts to characterize the looting of maritime vessels, and it has traversed human history, transforming itself and surviving the criminal processes imposed upon it. In contemporary times, the term is used to refer to the copying, distribution, and commercialization of products in commercial centers. With the advancement of computerization and the development of new technologies during globalization, the practice has been reconfigured and entered the digital environment, manifesting itself in distinct forms and through diverse mechanisms. This includes unique ways of expanding its reach and fostering informal consumption. This research aims to investigate the practice of digital piracy in cyberspace, focusing on the digital social network Telegram, in order to observe how piracy operations function and how consumption is mediated through them, establishing communities that actualize communicative citizenship and broaden communicative subjects’ access to debates on the right to information. Furthermore, the research seeks to reconstruct digital piracy from the perspective of the symbolic right to culture, which develops and transforms through relationships and symbolic exchanges created in the digital environment. This introduces discussions that shift the debate on the illegality of pirate consumption toward a different perspective, bringing together efforts inside and outside academia across distinct fields to expand investigative production.
