Abstract
Music piracy is a prevalent, costly, and illegal global phenomenon. The objective of this study was to test whether different facets of mindfulness (attention, present focus, awareness, and acceptance) moderated a mediation process in which digital piracy in friends promotes a lenient legal-ethical position that fosters music piracy intentions in emerging adults. We controlled for personality traits (Big Five), emotion regulation (reappraisal and suppression), time spent listening to music, various Internet-related behaviors (non-academic Internet use, downloading, social networking, smartphone use), and sociodemographics (gender, age, and level of education). Participants were 156 emerging adults (aged between 18 and 25 years) who studied at a Canadian university. Moderated mediation analyses (bootstrapping 50,000 random resamples) suggested that social influence from digital piracy in friends might be a risk factor that has: (i) a direct effect on music piracy intentions; (ii) an indirect effect on music piracy intentions via lenient legal-ethical position; and (iii) an effect on lenient legal-ethical position that can be buffered by attention, a facet of mindfulness that thereby acts as a protective factor. This study draws novel directions for research on the prevention of music piracy, notably the possibility that mindfulness is a protective factor against peer contagion of digital piracy in emerging adulthood.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
