The last few questions, "does it make a difference if...", may be asking something different than what you intend to answer. If I answered yes to the first question and then said it doesn't make a difference for the other two questions (i.e., they're also okay to do), how do you tell that what I'm saying is different from someone who says no to the first question and says it doesn't make a difference for the other two (i.e. they're also NOT okay to do)?

That last sentence I wrote should be taken out and shot, but I think you understand what I mean.

Darren,

I think some of the questions are a little confusing too, as noted by Jeremy. But, all in all, this is a timely topic in light of the recent release of a report that basically indicates teachers are very ill-informed about copyright and fair use.

Your survey is valuable in that it starts up a dialog -- I'm looking forward to your follow up. I took the survey and plan to share it in my blog, but is there an open window for replying or will you cut off the survey and share results at some point in the near future?

You may want to consider leaving it up through the week of Nov. 5-9. That's media literacy awareness week (in Canada), and copyright is a huge issue among media educators, too.
