8. According to the passage, present copyright laws
Difficulty Level: 700+
Explanation
Current copyright law is discussed primarily in the 2nd paragraph, and the exact phrase appears only in line 20: "a problem, since current copyright laws give owners of". That line gives us only one piece of direct information—copyright holders can sue for unauthorized distribution. That’s (D).
(A) distorts the author’s view: there are some new issues with content on the web, but current law clearly prohibits unauthorized distribution (the issue is what that means).
(B) Contradicts the author’s view that the owner/publisher controls access.
(C) is a trap for those prone to bringing in outside knowledge—the profit issue is batted around a lot in the debate over copyright issues, but it’s NOT mentioned in this passage!
(E) The author advocates leaving copyright law as it is, not loosening its restrictions further.

Q1. Which one of the following most accurately expresses the main point of the passage?
The critical issue is whether the linkage of the documents is considered a copyright infringement.
(A) Since distribution of a document placed on a Web page is controlled by the author of that page rather than by the person who creates a link to the page, creating such a link should not be considered copyright infringement. ok
(B) Changes in copyright law in response to the development of Web pages and links are ill-advised unless such changes amplify rather than restrict the free exchange of ideas necessary in a democracy. - Opposite. They'll restrict and not amplify.
(C) People who are concerned about the access others may have to the Web documents they create can easily prevent such access without inhibiting the rights of others to exchange ideas freely. - Limited in scope.
(D) Problems concerning intellectual property rights created by new forms of electronic media are not insuperably difficult to resolve if one applies basic commonsense principles to these problems. - The passage discusses applying available technological solutions. "commonsense principles" are out of scope.
(E) Maintaining a free exchange of ideas on the Web offers benefits that far outweigh those that might be gained by a small number of individuals if a radical alteration of copyright laws aimed at restricting the Web’s growth were allowed. - the central issue is the specific legal question of whether linking to a document is copyright infringement.
