Comment They should disregard the copywrongs.eu responses (Score 1) 154

I appreciate the work of sites like http://copywrongs.eu/ but you cannot simply reword the questions to a questionnaire to your liking without influencing the result. The people who created the questionnaire probably send a lot of time to tweak the exact wording and should in the analysis of the results take the introduced bias into account. When people start building websites that hide the original questions and instead replace them with their own questions, they are basically trashing the data. They have the best of intentions, but come on, you cannot rephrase what was supposed to be an objective question to 'Someone stole my content OMFG'. What the hell are they thinking? If I were to analyze the results of the consultation, I would definitely disregard this data, as it does not reflect the answers to the questions we asked, it reflects the answers to questions some other guys asked. I would encourage people to fill in the original form themselves. Sites like http://youcan.fixcopyright.eu/ offer the original questions, with some additional explanation. That is much more fair to the people who designed to questionnaire.
