    Hi,

    My girlfriend is writing a piece on piracy for her college magazine and asked me if I would put up a quick survey for her on boards.

    If you could answer the following truthfully:

    1. Do you download music/films illegally on campus?
    2. What is the college policy on illegal downloads?
    3. Do you know of anyone that has been caught downloading music/films on campus. If so, how were they punished?
    4. What are your reasons for downloading music/films?

    Thanks.
