Fighting CD Copiers
How much do you want to pay for a CD by your favourite singer Jay Chou? Five yuan for a pirated one,or more for a real one?
Wang Ye,14. said she would like the real one although the pirated one is cheaper. "A real one is worth keeping for years," said the girl from No. 1Middle School in Wuhu,Anhui. "Real CDs always sound better to me."
What Can We Do?
People want to do more to help those like Wang to get real CDs.
This week the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI,国际唱片业协会) asked many countries to act against piracy.
In many places in China,the government is checking audio and video products (产品) . Pirated ones are broken into pieces.
Piracy is in your daily life. Don't believe it? A study by 21st Century Teens found that more than 75 percent of juniors had listened to pirated music. They say this is because pirated products are usually much cheaper than the real ones.
Why are real CDs so expensive? When a music company makes music,it needs to pay the song writers and singers. It costs a lot of money！This makes the prices of the CDs go up. Piracy is like stealing. People who make pirated copies of CDs take away the writers1 and singers' work without paying them. They don't even ask them if they can.
So next time you'd better keep your eyes widened when you see cheap CDs,remember you're helping someone to do something wrong if you buy them.
How Do I Know What's Real? Already made up your mind to buy real ones? Well,you should get to know what real CDs look like.
A real CD has the name and trademark of the music company on the cover. The company's address,telephone number and fax number are also on it.
If you open the CD box,you'll see the singer's name and the album title. Most important of all,a real CD has a number from the IFPI on it.
But people who make pirated CDs need the real CD and disks to copy them. That's why some CDs are only five yuan,but some may sell for 150.
( ) 11. A real CD has on it.
A. the name of the company
B. the number from the IFPI
C. the name of the singer
D. all above
( ) 12. Real CDs are more expensive because .

B. robbing
C. helping someone do something wrong
D. helping someone
( ) 14. From the passage we get to know that some pirated audio and video products are
A. moved away B. destroyed
