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 Webs growth were allowed. - the central issue is the specific legal question of whether linking to a document is copyright infringement.
