Could people please spare five minutes and help a PHD student do some research for his project.

A brief outline of what im trying to achieve. Im working towards a research project for a PHD in Advertising. The area of research i have chosen to look at is 'how is digital distribution changing the way consumers get, use and feel about a product' To put that into english, i am conducting research into how the internet is changing the way that we get our music, games, movies etc and what it does to our attitudes on the item. For example, very few of us would go into a shop and steal a cd, yet most of us have stolen a song via napster type sites, why is this?

I have tried to keep it brief, for more information on the research it can be found here. I will publish updates and articles for users to read as time goes along so you can see how you views are being used. if i can ask one big favour form people - can you spread the word on th eproject so we can get as many opinion as possible.

to do the questionnaire and be of great help please go to www . theresearchstudent .netfirms .com (please copy into browser and take out the spaces as this forum would allow me to post link to add)

Many thanks, please spread the link round to people you know, all the opinions will be of use in my studies
