I'll include my preferred choice of answer below some of the questions: 1) Are you practicing file sharing? (download files/materials from the internet) a) yes b) no 2)what type of files do you always download? a) mp3/songs b) movies/dramas/cartoons/anime c) games D. Mostly anime and music. 3) how do you download files from the internet? a) using P2P networking such as torrents. b) download from certain websites that hosts the files. c) send through chatting programme like yahoo messenger. D. Mostly through ddLing sources (85%+ of the time). I'll wait until I get a better internet network to use more of my BitComet frequently. 4) after you download materials from the internet, will you still prefer to buy the original CD or copy at the stores? a) yes, because i want to support the producers for their hardwork. b) i do it sometimes when i feel like it. c) no, not at all since i already have it in my computer. D. It depends on what the product is and how much I like/love it. 5) pretend that you do not have internet to download all these materials. do you still buy CDs at the stores? a) yes, i always does because i want to listen/watch to the songs/movies. b) i do it sometimes when i found certain songs/movies to be really good. c) no, because most of CDs nowadays are not worthy for its price. D. Same answer as the previous question (D). 6) do you think that CDs prices are reasonable enough? a) yes, they are reasonable and worthy for their contents. b) No, since they are too expensive and not worthy for their contents. C. Both. It depends on the type of product (game, anime, etc.) and its popularity on the market. 7) what is the main reason for you to download materials from the internet? (if you are not downloading files from internet, please proceed to the next question) a) i do it because it is free. b) i only want a song from the album, not the whole CD. so it is not worthy for me to buy the CD for only a song. c) the materials available through file-sharing are limitless compare to the materials available at stores. D. Because I enjoy whatever it is I'm dLing. 8) why do you against file-sharing? (if you are not, proceed to the next question) a) because it is an act of stealing. b) CDs prices are reasonable enough, so better get the originals. c) there are also online stores for users to download files/materials. D. I am not against File-Sharing on the internet. 9) do you think file-sharing will affect the producers? a) yes, because the sales of CDs drops. b) yes because it is the same as pirating. c) no, CD sales drop because of the song itself that is getting worse, not because of file-sharing. d) no, because file-sharing can actually promote the songs/movies to the viewers. E. I think file-sharing helps fans, or consumers, purchase the actual CD to realize what it's really worth. You can say "file-sharing" is a preview of the actual product or item. 10) Are you against file-sharing? a) YES, because it is the same as stealing. b) YES, because CDs prices are reasonable enough so there's no need to download them from the internet. c) NO, because i can preview certain songs/movies before buying the originals. d) NO, because the materials/files available are limitless and costs less. For comments, I only have a few (but don't get offended or anything). First off, the questions seem a bit 'weak'. Most of them aren't even about "file-sharing", but about CDs and the choice of purchasing the actual product rather than not buying it. Question one should be re-made; something like "Do you download hosted files on the internet? (music, anime, You should've included novels and manga in question two. Doujinshi even or other text documents of any sort. For question three, you can probably include e-mail, but that might be a bit too small to worry about. You should definitely include blogs!! You can get so many things from fan-made blogs! Around questions 4 and 5, you should include a question like: "Say you're in a situation where you want to purchase an item online, but you cannot access the internet. The only way you can get this product is online, since there are absolutely NO stores even considerably around your area to get this item. What do you do?" I think question six is a simple, yet good (and common) question to ask. Question seven, again is only related towards songs and albums. There's anime and manga for one, concerts of artists if you want to talk about music, etc. My answer for this one could be a new option for this surery, although it can be modified said be... Question ten should come before question eight. "Are you against file-sharing online? (if no, skip the following question)", "Why are you against file-sharing online?", and then "Do you think file-sharing online will affect the producers?" You can also include a new question. Maybe something like: "Do you think file-sharing's popularity will increase/decrease in the future?" Then you can have a simple follow up question like "Why?"

wai~ Age: 16 Occupation: 4th yr. High school Student 1) Are you practicing file sharing? (download files/materials from the internet) a) yes 2)what type of files do you always download? a) mp3/songs b) movies/dramas/cartoons/anime c) games (actually all 3 of them...) 3) how do you download files from the internet? a) using P2P networking such as torrents. b) download from certain websites that hosts the files. c) send through chatting programme like yahoo messenger. (actually I get them in a variety of ways..) 4) after you download materials from the internet, will you still prefer to buy the original CD or copy at the stores? a) yes, because i want to support the producers for their hardwork. (unless it's impossible for me to get it) 5) pretend that you do not have internet to download all these materials. do you still buy CDs at the stores? b) i do it sometimes when i found certain songs/movies to be really good. (but I'll never know that without teh internetz) 6) do you think that CDs prices are reasonable enough? a) yes, they are reasonable and worthy for their contents. (I know why they are priced like that, so I think it's resonable~) 7) what is the main reason for you to download materials from the internet? (if you are not downloading files from internet, please proceed to the next question) a) i do it because it is free. (I'm so ebil.. and broke :( ) 8) why do you against file-sharing? (if you are not, proceed to the next question) >NOT AGAINST IT AT ALL 9) do you think file-sharing will affect the producers? d) no, because file-sharing can actually promote the songs/movies to the viewers. (Actually I have thoughts that who ever put that cd in circulation might have already bought atleast 2 cds, and people who usually download through file sharing either are actually unable to buy it due to a number of reasons, like money... and many of the faithful fans buy the cd for it novelty and for the sake of collection which means they buy it not only for the songs... well for me anyways.. I have like 10 unopened singles~ ^3^) 10) Are you against file-sharing? c) NO, because i can preview certain songs/movies before buying the originals. d) NO, because the materials/files available are limitless and costs less. (~.~) comments and suggestions. questions 8 and 10 should be together(no. 10 first cause it's "why you are against" while 8 is "Are you against")...and should be at the start of the survey~ grammar correction~ on #8 it's supposedly "Why are you against file sharing?" my comments are all below each question ~.^ this was fun
