[research project]
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!
I have more than enough replies! I ask no one else reply so I can gather all the data. Thanks again. You all rock. :3
I NEED YOUR HELP, GUYS.
I am doing a research paper for my sociology class. My topic is anime with a focus on the problems faced with copyright laws when it comes to fansubbing, scanlated and parodying.
I created the following survey for consumers and fanartists. If you could take a moment of your time and take it it would really help! The more who participate the better my paper and results will be.
• Please answer the following questions in as great or as little detail as you see fit.
• Please copy and paste the questions into your reply. Make sure your answers are clearly distinguished.
• You are free to answer this survey anonymously or logged in but all results will be anonymous in the paper.

• If you do not want to answer a question please leave it blank. Do not omit it.
