Reading the passage

The owners say copyright law doesn't adequately protect material on the web and want it strengthened. In context, they want the law to reach more activity, including potentially treating links as infringement. My paraphrase would be made more restrictive: expanding what the law prohibits.

Working the answers

  • A
    Correct

    More restrictive fits the proposed expansion of what copyright law prohibits, particularly whether linking can count as unauthorized distribution.

  • B

    Worldwide uniformity would mean different countries having the same rules. The issue here is what the rules prohibit, not whether countries agree on them.

  • C

    Harsher penalties are one possible way to strengthen a law, but the debate here concerns what counts as infringement, not the punishment for it.

  • D

    Enforcement means applying the rules already in place. These owners are arguing that the law itself needs to cover more, not that existing rules simply need to be enforced more diligently.

  • E

    Being recognized as legitimate concerns acceptance of a law, not the scope of its restrictions.
