Interesting survey. I've always been of the opinion that anti-piracy wars and DRM do more harm than good, especially on items like ebooks and music. All they do is frustrate legitimate consumers.
It's like when you buy a DVD and you have to sit through 5 minutes of FBI warnings and things telling you not to pirate. I bought the DVD didn't I? If I pirated it I wouldn't have to put up with all this!

I agree with most of the survey responders that thought file-sharing increases exposure of their work. Sure, it's not legal, but you can't do much about it so if you're an artist you might as well get what you can out of it.
