After months of fear, loathing, and litigation, the music and consumer-electronics industry decided to try to make beautiful music together. Last week the Secure Digital Music Initiative, a coalition of 100 music, electronics and high-tech companies announced that it was provisionally blessing a controversial music format known as MP3. Nowadays, more and more young people are fond of music that is played on their portable MP3 players. So this announcement attracted a lot of attention in both the producer and consumer sides.
MP3, in case you’ve lost your abbreviations handbook, is a compression scheme that allows the digital music in CDs to be shrank to a tenth its size and still sound great. MP3 songs are small enough to be traded online, mad they are by the millions to the consternation of record companies, which fear that everything ever released on disc will end up online for free. Traditional records and their sale may be greatly undermined by this new format of music, and for the music’s sake, it is better conveyed in this new medium.
That’s why the recording industry sued little Diamond Multimedia when it started selling a portable MP3 player last year. Not only did Diamond win in court, but it also sold 100,000 Rios for Christmas, what could the music industry do? They have no choice in their future, their success just depends on how they can cope with the new trend and cooperate with the electronics companies.
It couldn’t ignore MP3, which has become the format of choice among new bands trying to break in and vets looking for prerelease buzz. So the industry blessed it on one condition: within 18 months, when a standard is adopted that allows piracy-protected music to be sold online, the electronics companies agree to make their players compliant. This can be done as the beneficiaries are already applauding for the new magic MP3 players, which is both convenient and capable of carrying on much more music than conventional walkmans. What’s next? Digitally pirated movies. Get ready, Hollywood.
According to the last paragraph, what will happen to Hollywood?
选项
A、The movies will not worry about the situation in the music field.
B、The movies can be easily pirated with this new format.
C、The songs in movies will be recorded in the MP3 format.
D、The new technology has little to do with the movie industry.
答案
B
解析
原文最后一段指出,盗版问题已经使音乐界受到了巨大的打击,并警告Hollywood,它也应该为盗版问题做好准备了。所以,答案是B“电影在这种格式下是很容易被盗版的”。
