Preliminary results from the Copy Culture Survey are out. The survey examines the online activities of Americans (and Germans) and their attitudes about copyright. Lots of interesting findings. Among other things:

  • 2% of Americans have more than 1,000 unlawfully downloaded music files
  • 52% of Americans favor penalties for unlawfully downloading copyrighted music and movies
  • Among Americans who support fines for unlawfully downloading music or movie files, 75% say the maximum penalty should be $100
