My Survey Questions

*This is a blog post that was due on June 30th.

For my final research paper I am planning to write how laws and movements that opposes internet piracy is meaningless because it is almost impossible to regulate people from pirating.

My big question for my final essay is,
What, if any, benefits do governmental laws bring to internet piracy?

Demographic Questions
1. What is your gender?
2. Have you lived abroad? (other than Japan) If yes, where and how long?

For my demographic questions, I am trying to find the difference in people's thoughts about internet piracy depending on gender and also between people who only lived in Japan and those who came from abroad. I assume that male downloads movie more often than female students. Also, I assume that those who have lived abroad does more downloading on internet than those who stayed in Japan. Furthermore, it would be great if I can see the difference between the countries people are from. (eg. People from US downloads movie more than those from Thailand)

Research Questions
1. How often do you watch movies?
2. Do you download or watch movies online?
3. Order these crimes in order of weight.
    internet piracy   theft   murder   sexual harassment
4. Do you think Internet piracy is bad?

My research questions tries to find how common downloading movies are among students. I also aim to find how concerned people are about internet piracy by asking the question 3 and 4.
