Question

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! PLEASE HELP!!

Read the following passage from the article "The Completely Free Market."

"The other battle cry you hear from people opposed to open file sharing is that the artist are not making any money. Let's be clear about this. The "artists" people are referring to are famous pop and rock stars. These famous musicians are getting paid. They make millions of dollars a year from concerts, commercials, and other appearances."

A. The author doesn't know the artists personally to state such a claim.

B. The author doesn't use any facts to support such a claim, so it can't be proven.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option B. The author doesn't use any facts to support such a claim, so it can't be proven.  

Explanation:

Fallacious reasoning refers to the use of an invalid foundation to construct an argument, meaning it fails to present trustworthy information given the lack of evidence to support it.

Regarding the excerpt, the speaker makes a bold statement by expressing their disapproval of other people rejecting the concept of open file sharing.

The speaker states the artists who benefit from this concept are getting paid enough, and therefore, don't need to get further royalties from their products. The speaker however fails to provide evidence to prove these artists are getting paid from other sources.
