You're lucky I'm really really bored.

1. 20
2. M
3. Noise, shoegaze, alternative, indie, hip hop, electronica, jazz
4. All the time
5. Umm... everywhere?
6. ...
7. Yes
8. Records, stereo, or mp3 player...
9. Record stores
10. Heavily varies
11. Full albums always
12. Yes
13. Blogs
14. Yes
15. Some is impossible to find, I listen to too much to pay for all of it.
16. A lot... we'll leave it at that.
17. No
18. Yes
19. No
20. Yes
21. Lots. A lot of the music I download I would never find if I only went to stores to find it. Blogs introduce people to all sorts of music that would otherwise probably remain obscure and unknown, sometimes making artists quite famous. If it's a major label, you get to give a big **** you to some record company executives.
22. Takes money away from artists, of course. This is where it gets confusing. The question is, would people buy all of the music that they pirate? Definitely not, so it really results in no loss of profit for them as long as people spend as much money as they would have anyway on music (I do).
23. Eh, I doubt it
24. Yes
25. No

FETCHER.

Promise ?


1. 18
2. Female.

20. Yes, but at the end of the day they're still making money.
21. I don't spend any money.

23. Probably.
24. Pirates win, Ninjas lose. It's the circle of life baby.
25. Well my grandfather would struggle to turn a computer on, but if he could I'm sure he would take all the free stuff he could get. My parents probably don't know pirating exists over the internet.

Is this homeworkhelp.com.....really?

mr dave

i'll make it easier for you.

do genres matter in terms of downloads?

not nearly as much as the kind of internet connection you have and what you've managed to be capable of doing with it.


the rest of your survey has little or nothing to do with the actual premise you initially present.

24. Do you think that it is fair to pirate when people purchase music?
As I said before...I think it's fair to download if you are doing it with the mindset that you'll buy if you really really enjoy it.

25. Do your Parents, Grandparents, or Guardians pirate?
Haha, no. ><
