here is the full subject for context: https://imgur.com/a/HmNaMIu
You have to choose one of 2 exam papers. Would you choose the second subject ? the one revolving around piracy denial that is.
Here's my mildly diplomatic answer that'd probably get tossed:
Piracy has become a plague on our society, but there's a more sinister cause to it. The average labourer can hardly afford to pay the same fee to access culture that the wealthy person can, and this has caused a significant and justified uptick in piracy.
This situation can be averted by increasing minimum wages and supporting universal basic income. If everyone knew they could at least make ends meet, they'd have some left over to pay for the culture that mattered to them.
It would be easier to pass by 'what had been argued as" qualifier in front of "justified." I'd also add something about people who discriminate against different socioeconomic groups as being uncultured, while gatekeeping culture.
You are being tested on your comprehension of the text given, not asked for your opinion on piracy and copyright.
yeah, not asked about opinion, straight up asked to denounce piracy
