"Copy Culture in the US and Germany" is survey-based study designed to bring public opinion to bear on vital policy conversation about the future of the Internet. The study explores what Americans and Germans do with digital media, what they want to do, and how they reconcile their attitudes and values with different policies and proposals to enforce copyright online.

A research note based on the study, "Infringement and Enforcement in the US," is available ahead of the release of the full report and data. This note draws on the U.S. survey conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. The results are based on interviews on landline and cellular telephones conducted in English with 2,303 adults age 18 or older living in the continental United States from August 1-31, 2011.

The Copy Culture survey was sponsored by The American Assembly, with support from a research award from Google.
