Giving In Filesharing Communities

[lostintranslation]

Hi,

My name is Jorgen Skageby and I’m a PhD student at Linkoping University in Sweden. My research is about ”digital gifts” – simply put, that is people who use computers to gift stuff to eachother. File sharing is, in my mind, partly about giving. To research this further, I’ve put up a questionnaire @ http://www.ida.liu.se/~jorsk/gq.html

The questionnaire is hosted on servers at the Department of Computer Science at Linkoping University (www.liu.se). The questionnaire is quite short (7 questions), and consists of mostly open-ended questions. The data will (of course) be treated with discretion and anonymized, so that all data connecting any answers to an IP will be erased. TIA!

Tip: if you're concerned about the anonymity, you can use an anonymizing proxy to fill out the questionnaire (for example http://www.anonymization.net).

i give you a tip , be nice to your mother

we dont share , we dont tell ppl we share, and we dont advertise we share

its all a big conspiracy, a plot to entrap us all isnt it , if you are a spy we will hunt you down , and share you ,

now go away and go bug someone else who doesnt share ether lol
