Just out of curiosity what is this dissertation about exactly?
What kind of course/school/uni is this for?

If this is for a dissertation, I would highly advise throwing together a quick web form for this survey. 1) HA users are in no way indicitive of the general population. 2) You'd get a much larger, statistically significant return.

I think HA is only one out of the many forums he would have asked to participate in his survey. I agree that the responses here would skew his results though.

"1. Have you ever downloaded music legally from the internet?"

"I would be very greatful if you could fill it in and e mail me"


I fear you may get less-than-truthfull responses........
