Hey James, Thanks for spreading the word.
The study that Torrentfreak wrote about is a part of the Cybernorms Research Group and our studies regarding social norm strength related to legal interventions and sanctions regarding online usage. This study was the third in a series of identical studies, conducted in feb 09 (during the TPB trial and pre-IPRED); oct 09 (post-IPRED) and feb 12 (long term post-IPRED and in the middle of a new enforcement campaign against filesharers in Sweden). The first is described here: http://www.psocommons.org/policyandinternet/vol2/iss4/art4/ The second here: http://nms.sagepub.com/content/early/2012/04/09/1461444812439553.abstract The third is accepted, but needs to go through some peer review first before publishing. The linked articles should be possible to download if you're on an university network. Or if you have such friends...
