Trying to find out what people actually think about copying turns out to be hard without lots of resources (which I don't have). Ideally you'd want to put people in behavioural labs and watch what they did in controlled experiments and ask them for reflection on their personal norms about what they did. Some of my ruminations on the difficulties putting the survey together are here: http://www.francisdavey.co.uk/2014/02/copynorm-survey-answering-some-questions.html I'm just short of my target number of responses so things are going well (thanks all ORG discuss people who did the survey or shared it or better still both). Not everyone who answered regards themselves as particularly techie so I have a sub-sample which I can compare. Some time later in the year I'll release the results. -- Francis Davey
