B. You are going to read a magazine article.
Choose the answer A, B, C or D which best fits according to
the text
Declan Mayes, President of the Music Buyers
Association, is furious at a recent announcement by the
recording industry concerning people
downloading MP3 music files from the Internet. Of course, there are files
that can be downloaded legally for a small
charge, but the uproar is not about these: it is about illegal downloads,
which constitute an undoubted infringement of
copyright. However, there is a great deal of controversy over
whether the people who indulge in this
activity should be regarded as actual criminals. A few parallels may be
instructive. If someone copies an audio music
cassette for their own private use, they are, strictly speaking,
breaking the law. But recording companies have usually turned a blind eye to this practice because prosecuting
the few people involved would be difficult,
and the financial loss to the company itself is not considered
significant. At the other end of the scale,
there are criminals who make illegal copies of CDs and sell them for a
profit. This is far more serious, and the
industry actively pursues and prosecutes pirates. Now the Music Recording
Association has announced that it regards
individuals downloading music from the Internet as pirates, claiming
that they damage fee industry in just the same
way. “The industry is completely overreacting; it’ll be a laughing
stock,” says Mayes. “They’re going to arrest
some teenagers downloading files in his bedroom - and sue him for
thousands of dollars! This isn’t going to
frighten anyone into buying CDs.”
Mayes may have a point. There is a general
consensus that CD pirates should be subjected to the full wrath
of the law, but few would see an individual
downloading music for his or her own pleasure in the same light.
However, downloading music files illegally is
not as innocuous as making private copies of audio cassettes. The
scratchy, distorted cassette copy is a poor
version of the original recording, whereas an MP3 file is of high quality
and can be stored - on a CD, for example. It is this that makes the practice a powerful temptation for music fans,
given the high cost of CDs. What does Mayes think
about claims that music companies could be forced out of
business by people downloading music
illegally? That’s nonsense. Music companies are always whining about
high costs, but that doesn’t prevent them from
recording hundreds of CDs by completely unknown artists, many
of whom are "packaged" by marketing
departments to appeal to young consumers. The companies are simply
hoping that one of these new bands or singers
will be a hit, and although it can be expensive to promote new
artists, the cost of manufacturing the CDs is
actually very low. This last point would appear to be the focus of
resentment against music companies: a CD is
far cheaper to produce than its price in the shops would indicate,
and profit margins for the music companies are
huge. An adult with a reasonable income may not object to paying
£15 for a CD of classical music, but a
teenager buying a CD by the latest pop sensation may find that price rather
steep - especially since the latest pop
sensation is almost certain to be forgotten within a few months. And while
the recording industry can’t be held
responsible for fee evanescent nature of fame, given the teenage appetite for
anything in novels, it could lower the prices
it charges - especially since technology is making CDs even cheaper
to produce.
This is what Mayes hopes will happen. ‘If the
music industry stops exploiting the music-buying public, it can
survive. Everyone would rather buy a CD, with
an attractive jacket and booklet, than mess around downloading
files, but the price has to be reasonable. The
problem isn’t going to vanish if the industry carries on trying to make
a quick profit. Technology has caught up with
the music companies, and trying to fight it by taking people to court
will only earn money for the lawyers’. A
frightening thought.
