Illegal Downloading + correction of your test

Hey,

today we first listened to a short document about illegal downloading. You can listen to it here again:

Here is what we said about it:

The document deals with illegal downloading. Some artists like Lily Allen, Pink Floyd or Radiohead have gathered in London to find a solution. Lily Allen has threatened to quit the music industry. Their proposal consists in:
- first sending two letters of warning,
- and then slowing down the Internet connection of the hacker.

The system is a little different in France. You may receive two letters of warning but your connection can be shut down, you can be sent to jail and receive an expensive fine.

Then we started correcting your test from last week. Here are the answers to the first questions:
