El fenómeno de la piratería digital revela una fractura estructural entre las categorías jurídicas tradicionales y las condiciones sociotecnológicas de la contemporaneidad, en la que la abundancia informacional y la inmaterialidad de los bienes culturales invalidan los supuestos de escasez y exclusividad que sustentaban el derecho de autor clásico. En ese marco, el objetivo del presente artículo es analizar críticamente la piratería digital como expresión moral y sociotecnológica de justicia distributiva, con el fin de formular un paradigma regulatorio que integre equidad en el acceso, sostenibilidad del ecosistema digital y confianza institucional. Los hallazgos muestran que las políticas punitivas y los sistemas tecnológicos restrictivos resultan ineficaces e incluso contraproducentes, pues debilitan la legitimidad del sistema y refuerzan las actitudes de resistencia moral. En contraste, los contextos donde existen alternativas legales accesibles, precios adaptativos y licencias abiertas presentan mayores niveles de cumplimiento voluntario. La evidencia sugiere que la sostenibilidad regulatoria depende menos de la coerción que de la percepción de justicia y participación social en la formulación de las normas. En consecuencia, se concluye que la reconstrucción de la legitimidad institucional requiere transitar de la lógica del control a la de la cooperación, estableciendo un marco de gobernanza digital basado en equidad distributiva, transparencia y confianza como pilares de una regulación legítima y sostenible del conocimiento.
