Reading the passage

Before looking at other situations, describe the relationship we're matching. One response is to change the legal rules so that more activity can count as infringement. The other is for an owner to use a practical safeguard: require a password before anyone can enter the page.

What we’re looking for

So my prediction is rules versus a protective step someone can take independently. Both can restrict access, but one relies on legal prohibitions and the other on something the participant does. Keep both halves of that relationship in view.

Working the answers

  • A

    This contrasts open access with restricted access. Strengthening copyright law is already a restriction; it doesn't match allowing everyone in.

  • B

    Both alternatives outlaw something. Changing a ban from use to sale doesn't give us the alternative of a participant taking a practical protective step.

  • C
    Correct

    Prohibiting the sport matches a broad restriction; using safety gear matches taking protective steps while allowing the activity to continue. Think banning the activity versus giving participants a way to protect themselves, just as passwords let owners limit access without expanded liability for linking.

  • D

    Passing and enforcing a law are two stages of the same legal approach. A password isn't enforcement of a new law.

  • E

    A badge resembles a password, but unrestricted entry does not resemble strengthening copyright law. One matching half isn't enough.
