I figure the pollster creates the poll they want. If someone doesn't like it or thinks it's invalid, no one's forcing them to vote. They can always create their own poll.
I personally like the "never" option myself, as it also shows what percent actually has paid for PD. You could always do the math yourself to get the "not never" spread.

Yes, but not technically but practically, someone who's looking for a classic in translation can have a choice of pd translation/paid-for translation. It's still the same book whichever option they choose. Especially given that it's a translation! No one's reading the original! The rest is details.
But again, answer/don't answer however you like. There's no poll police -- not even you.
