Indeed a nice one.
This blank asks us to fill in evidence that will prove that excessively restrictive controls can be avoided. Now, what is the problem?
Problem: People are downloading and redistributing music illegally. (Internet Piracy). Of course the leaders support this movement to stop illegal download.
A - The only way we can tell them that they don't need to have excessive restrictive controls is if we show that the new controls will allow (not prevent) downloading and redistribution of electronic files by legal means. So thats the answer. Its legal, so they are happy!
B - Going into the country of origin is too specific
C - The economic cost of implementing controls does not exceed the economic losses caused by illegal downloading and redistribution. Well, yes cost is a factor, but we are looking for a reason to avoid excessive control for illegal download. Cost is not a concern here
D- Uniformly, but will they be legal? and by music record labels?? Why them? Nope this is out.
E - Yes, we know there is an upward trend. The premises already tells me that. Does not really answer a reason to avoid excessive control for illegal download
So, the correct answer is A
