whoa! Dissertation and you don't clarify "piracy"? Tsk. tsk. Errol Flynn was the best film pirate (apologies to Peerless), and though I have to assume you are talking about the Valenti definition of piracy, that is a term of art that has a different meaning in the courts of most western countries. I think you should edit your poll to specify that you want to know about downloading infringing material in a country whose laws currently make such downloading illegal.
well, back in the last millenium you didn't ask questions like this.

2 Do you download more MP3 files or film files from the internet?

non-infringing video, I think, every once in a while. I prefer text

3 How often do you download films?

I think I did once or twice, but it wasn't what I expected

the internet for free?

??? Right? As in freedom of communication? Well, then, yes. If you mean that somebody else should pay for my internet equipment and connection, then no.
5 Yes
6 ???
7Yes (legal stuff)
8 Yes . . . at the same time criminals are abolished.
What University?
