Help needed for my dissertation

[eggyuk]

Hi

I'm currently completing an MSc Forensic Psychology and as my main dissertation project I am conducting research into file sharing and the effect the newly proposed anti file sharing measure will have. What I need is lots of people to free up 15 minutes and complete my survey. I would greatly appreciate it if you could take the time to do this for me and then pass the link onto others you think may be interest / willing to also complete it.

The link for the survey is: Online music and film file sharing

The survey is going to be online for the next 4-6 weeks and I'm aiming for 200+ participants so I really need your help.

Thanks

Edit:

Different link if 1st not working: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dC15X3g0cEphQk82Vzd4clh1RHppX3c6MQ

Update 14/08/2010

I just want to say thanks to everyone who has done this so far and also thanks for the feedback. I have got approximately a third of the participants I need so if there is anyone who has yet to do it, please can you try to find time to complete the survey. For those of you that have already done it please can you pass the link around or direct to this thread, others that may be willing to take part .

Cheers

Update: 22/09/2010

I have now got all the responses I need and I'm doing the analysis so any responses to the questionnaire from now on will not be included in the result.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the study and I'll post back when I've got some results.

Just did it!

The only reason I know what the word fortnight is is from Demetri Martin's stand up comedy

All complete. I'm not much into file sharing. Used to screw around with Napster and such, but in the past 5 years+ I have strictly just purchased my music and all of my movies come from Netflix.

Link not found.

 

[eggyuk]

Dinesh. I've just tried it again and it's working for me but try this one: Online music and film file sharing

OK thanks.

I won't go into my personal habits when it comes to music and video file sharing since it will probably get me banned :shock:

I'll just leave my answers hidden deep in that survey

 

[gladson1976]

Done.

But a few questions seem to be a bit biased.
Eg.
Q. Software to illegally file share is readily available *
This seems (atleast to me) to imply that the software can be used only for illegal file sharing. The same software can be used to legally share files and reduce the load on a server. A better question would be Software to file share is readily available *

Just my 2 cents

Arr - that comment has just unearthed those deep questions and laid 'em bare for all to see

Done - GoogleDocs have my thoughts.

 

[whs]

Done. But since I never watch movies (last time was in 1964 I believe) and 100% of my music is from my own CDs, I am afraid I could not much contribute.

 

[Dinesh]

TBH, I think 90% questions are all same, just asked differently every time.

That is the case with most surveys. It is for cross-checking.

Done. It did seem repetitive.

 

[Tarka Dal]

I choose not to fill in the survey. Even though I don't download illegaly what so ever I find the questions a little intrusive...

 

[Dinesh]

Is the survey still open? For how long?

 

[HILLBILLY]

Is the survey still open? For how long?

It seems to still be open... I just did it then and recieved no messages to say the questionare was closed...

 

[eggyuk]

Thanks for taking part and giving feedback. The survey is still running and will continue for another 2-3 weeks. I'm about 50 people short of my minimum target so if you haven't yet done it please can you take the time to help me out. If you have done it please can you pass the link round friends, family or work colleagues etc.

Cheers

Well, I did it. I don't file share, so that was easy.
