Dissertation help
Hello kids, I'm collecting research for a dissertation I'm writing on the subject of illegal downloading and I would be really grateful if you could take a few minutes to answer the following questionnaire for me? Obviously I shalln't be using names or anything all I need is some statistics (I'm hoping to send this out on p2p networks as well at some point in the future). Thankyou!
