Fan Labour and Ethical Stress: A Myth or Reality of Translation Platforms?

Dear respondent, 

I am a second year PhD. student at University of Prešov in Slovakia, studying English language and anglophone cultures. I would like to kindly ask you to fill in this questionnaire as a part of my research into ethical stress in fansubbing. The aim of the research is to fill in the academic void and to investigate ethical stress that fansubbers might experience, as well as their satisfaction with tis voluntary activity. All the data are anonymous and will be used only for the purpose of my research. 


Thank you for your effort and your time spent by filling in this questionnaire.
