Hi Stella. Yes, it means (d) but another part of the copyright law
definitely means (b). The question does refer to "Sheena's use of the
file on her website" but she first broke the law by converting it to
MP3. She couldn't have done <D> without first doing <B>.
So there are TWO right answers, AFAIAC, and I would expect VCAA to
accept either. (In Q5 I would expect them to accept any answer from A
to Z!)
If we need to split hairs like this, it's the sign of another dog of a
question. Surely this stuff doesn't plague other VCE exams. Does
anyone know of such SNAFUs in other studies?
