File-Sharing Survey

Hi all. For those who didn't know...recently I've gone back to college for more advanced degrees...

Anyhoo...my current class is RES 341 or Research.... For a paper, we're supposed to do a survey. My topic is File-Sharing and the Music Industry. Personally, I'm all for it...but I'd appreciate help in getting some results from it... Plus, it'd probably be interesting to see anyhow... So, here it is...

(Please just answer with the question number and answer, though comments are welcome also)..

2. If yes, do you know how it works? (yes/no/not applicable)

3. At what price point would you purchase a music cd? (example, $6, $10, etc.)

4. Has the availability of file-sharing reduced the amount of cds you purchase? (yes/no)

5. Would you buy a cd if it had copy protection on it? (yes/no)
