Research Suvery *Please Read*

aaronsims	Date: April 19, 2004 @ 9:56 PM hey everyone, im doing a research paper for the positive influence of P2P file sharing software. It would help me out alot if anyone could answer a few questions for me. thanks ............................... 1. Do, or have you ever, used P2P file sharing software for music? If Yes 2. What software did you use? 3. Was is free? 4. Did you feel like you were taking advantage of any recording company/artists? 5. Did sharing music with others effect what types of music you listen to? How so? 6. Did you ever purchase any music from a retailer that you already had downloaded from P2P software? How much have you purchase? Yes or No to #1 7. At what point do you consider downloading free music as theft? 8. Overall, do you feel that file sharing software has a positive or negative effect on the music industry? 9. From your personal knowledge of how the music industry works, to what extent do record companies suffer from free music downloads? 10. What solutions do you suggest to calm the online music "crisis"?

Solipsism	Date: April 27, 2004 @ 7:50 AM 1. yes 2. soulseek 3. yes 4. no 5. yes, it opened me up to new genres 6. yes, i do this often 7. i don't consider it theft 8. positive....it's only portrayed as negative just now as it's being blamed for poor sales, when in fact the reason for poor sales is more to do with corporate control over artistic output and a bland whitewash by the media in regards to what music is made available to the public through adverts, airplay and so on. 9. They only suffer through their own incompetence 10. Get rid of the corporate paymasters who are strangling expressive music and promoting hegemony in the arts as well as politics.
