Multiple choice

Bollywood produces one of the largest music scores in the entire world. Currently, the music produced for movies generates revenue by album sales and licensing deals for advertisements. While the film producer keeps the entire revenue from album sales, he does share some revenue generated by licensing deals with the Music directors. Therefore, the music directors are entitled to some revenue from ringtone sales to cell phones.

The argument above is best supported if which one of the follow would be added as an additional premise

  1. The revenue generated by sales of music albums is much higher than the revenue generated by licensing deals

  2. The current contracts between music directors do not have any clause covering ring tones.

  3. Music directors will produce music that is more suitable for ringtones if they are given a share in the revenue from ring tones.

  4. Producers need music directors to create versions of music that can be used as ring tones.

  5. The use of music as ring tones is more comparable to the use of music in advertisements than it is to music albums
