Dear Participant,
Your participation in this study will help to decipher the validity of my research and to further investigation into what has become one of the hottest Internet topics of today. In order to maintain 95% competency and accuracy of answers, this survey will be distributed to over 300 participants. If you would like to see the final tabulated results, please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] with subject IP Survey - Please Send Results and I will place you on a list for notification when the paper is finalized in January 2005. If you would like to make comments, suggestions for further research or even feel that the wording does not work in a particular question, please feel free to e-mail me at the said e-mail address with subject IP Suggestions. All answers, requests and suggestions will be kept confidential.
Please specify your age. Please specify your gender. Please specify the highest level of education achieved at the time of this survey. Please specify your current yearly income. Please specify your Job title/category. Choose the one that best fits. Please specify the approximate size of your company / school. Please specify how long you have worked in your current position. Does your company have one or more central offices engaged in intellectual property management including identification, protection, promotion or commercialization? When you first started your job, did you have to sign an intellectual property waiver to your rights as the developer/author/creator? When you signed that waiver, did you know what it meant? Have you ever illegally downloaded a song from the internet? "I know my intellectual property rights." Do you know what "Open Source" is? If you posted art/writing/music to the Internet, you would want to be recognized as the original author. Pay services like "Napster" are more ethical than free services like "Morpheus" or "Limewire." |
