A. PURPOSE: I have been informed about the purpose of the research.

I understand that the primary research site is a case study focused on an internet and television program  called CBC Artspots, which existed between 1997-2008.

I understand that anything I enter on this website may (though will not necessarily) be quoted or referenced in research reports. I understand that excerpts from the blog may (though will not necessarily) be used in an exploratory documentary, or in presentations or publications, which may include attribution by the name I choose to refer to myself on this blog.

C. RISKS AND BENEFITS: I understand that some questions and discussions on the blog may elicit confidential information, which I am at liberty to decline commenting on or participating in. I understand I will receive no remuneration for my participation.

D. CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION: I understand that the data from this study may be published.  I understand that my participation in this study is NON-CONFIDENTIAL (i.e., the identity I use on this blog may be revealed in study results).
