Will some of you nice peoples help me out? I'm doing a Persuasive speech for speech and I need a visual. I want to do a survey, but I need people who will take it in order for it to work. If you people don't mind... Would you fill it out? You can post it or e-mail me. I don't mind either way and I can understand if someone wouldn't want all their answers to be posted. I promise not to ask anything really personal though. Please try to answer yes or no or a single word or number answer only. If you want to post an opinion in more lengthy form, do so after the survey.

Survey:

1)Have you ever used Napster or any other free music downloading site?(If no, skip question #2)

2)If so how often do you use it? a)How many songs do you download daily? b)Do you prefer buying CD's or downloading them for free?. c)Have you ever bought a music CD?

3)How old are you?

4)Do you think Napster and sites like it should be shut down?

5)Do you think free music sites cause the sales of CD's to go down?

6)Do you think banning sites like Napster goes against First Ammendment rights?

7)Do you think that making Napster charge fees is an acceptable solution to the copyright problem?

8)Do you think artists have the right to sue companies which give away their music?

9)Do you think Napster has the right to publish free music, as long as it gets permission from the artists and polices it's site to prevent pirates?

10)Do you think that Napster should be able to publish free music if it adopted other measures to prevent copyright infringement than those mentioned in question #9? a)If so what measures?


Thanks to anyone who does this for me. I plan to print the survey and try it at my school, but I can't get a very varied age group that way. Hopefully I will get a better impression from this... If anyone answers it. Well, I hope so.
