20. (E)
Question Type: Inference (36-44)

The answering machine greeting is equated with a document posted on the web. By posting the greeting, or the document, the owner has made it publicly available. The author uses this analogy to make the case that the owner of the content is actually in control of the distribution of that content, and that by posting the message, or posting the document, the owner is in fact offering it up for distribution.

Incorrect Answers
(A) is out of scope. The type of medium is irrelevant.
(B) is an unsupported interpretation.
(C) is out of scope. The speed of transmission is irrelevant.
(D) is out of scope. Whether or not people care is beside the point.
