The result of survey

I’m taking a News Talk class that study about news. We surveyed about Youtube in the SIU. Our group’s topic is copyright. Today, Youtube are having many movies or clips that not only authorized movies, but also unauthorized movies. I wanted to know what people think about this issue. So, I asked to American about Youtube’s copyright. I handed out our surveys in front of Students Center. I could get eight surveys easily, because they were willing to answer the surveys. I thought American is so kind people, because nobody refused when I gave them it. One woman said to me “this is a good survey.” at the time. And we talked about Youtube a few minutes. It was good for me.


We got much information from the result of survey. Most American has watched unauthorized clips and 67% people think shouldn’t pay for copyright clips. But 25% of them think Youtube is guilty. Even if it is illegal, 64% Americans will continue to watch free clips. In addition, 89% people will find a way to watch copyrighted clips for free, if Youtube lose. But over 30 people are not interesting in Youtube.


I was surprised that 76% of people watch Youtube. Also, I knew that many people watch copyrighted clips. Even if Youtube lose, and people must pay to watch copyrighted clips, people will find a way to watch them for free anyway. But if nobody paid the money to watch movies, nobody can get money and they won’t be able to make movies. Now, people think about their fun. But it’s important to think about copyright for people who made that. And owner of Youtube should stop that appears unauthorized clips. They can work without copyright clips. I like Youtube, so I don’t want Youtube to disappear on the web.
