Hello: You are invited to participate in a survey for my Degree thesis in Music Industry Management conducted at Buckinghamshire Chilterns University. In this survey, approximately 100 people will be asked to complete a survey that asks questions about consumer buying behaviour and opinions of people that download music online. It will take approximately 5 minutes to complete the questionnaire.
