File Sharing Research
Hi there,
I am conducting a research project studying file sharing communities on the internet as part of my Honours degree in Sociology at the University of Edinburgh. As part of this I have prepared a small questionnaire which I hoped you might be able to spare a few minutes to complete. All information gathered will be kept in the strictest confidence, and I would be more than happy to share my final report with any participants who might be interested. I have included the questionnaire in the body of this message, and you can either complete it by replying to his thread, or else send me your response by email at s9809972@sms.ed.ac.uk. If replying by email, please include the name of the website where you found this questionnaire. Feel free to email me with any queries you might have regarding this research. Your assistance with this is greatly appreciated, many thanks. Yours Sincerely, Craig Dickson University of Edinburgh ================================================= Q1. Age: Q2. Gender: Male / Female Q3. Educational Level Attained: No Formal Qualifications High School / Secondary School University / College Degree Q4. Do you use file sharing programs (such as Kazaa, BitTorrent, eMule) to download and share electronic media (music, videos, programs etc)? Yes / No Q5. How frequently do you use such services?
