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."
why is the passage an example of fallacious reasoning?
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.
c. everyone knows that artists don't make millions of dollars from their music.
d. everyone knows that artists don't really care if people download their songs illegally.
