Question Can you help me in my research on P2P file-sharing?

First of all, let me introduce myself: my name is Albert Such. I am
sending this e-mail as part of a research project tha I am undertaking as part of
my PhD studies at the Open University of Catalonia
(http://www.uoc.edu/doctorat/eng/index.htm). The goal of the project is to
understand how the adoption and usage of P2P file-sharing technologies affects
the traditional way of creating, distributing, protecting and getting
benefits from creative content such as music and video; and what are
the positions and expectations of "the P2P community" about the issues
of copyright, fair use, legal status of file sharing...

As part of this research, I am conducting a series of e-mail based interviews
with persons who have been, in any sense, involved in the development and adoption of
P2P filesharing technologies or who are active in the defense of the usage of
these technologies against the latest legal actions taken by entities such as
the RIAA and MPAA.

I expect that answering this short interview will not take much of your time and
would be very helpful in my research. I am not asking for any specifically
"private" information, but in any case, I ensure you that any information
gathered will be kept strictly confidential. Because this is the first interview
I am conducting on these issues, questions are rather open and general as I am
still trying to understand how to focus my investigation, so I will also appreciate
any comments, questions or suggestions on how to proceed with the project.

You cand send your responses and any other comments to asuch@uoc.edu
Thanks in advance for your help
