1* How closely have you followed recent news reports about a new law regulating the Internet that was opposed by major online companies such as Google and Wikipedia?

2* Which is a bigger problem, that some people download movies online without paying for them or that the government will censor Internet content?

3* Suppose someone downloads a movie online without paying for it. Are they stealing from the movie company that made the film?

4* Suppose Google opposes a law being considered by Congress. Is it an abuse of power for Google to encourage its customers to contact their congressman and express opposition to the proposed law?
