Just had an ICT exam and I just couldn't think of an answer for this question...
"Explain why the copyright law benefits 'gamers'"
How does it benefit gamers at all?

Are you sure It wasn't game developers? Maybe it affects gamers since it ensures that all the content in the game has not been illegally obtained so they cannot be prosecuted...?

Stupid question. I did this exam today as well; i just used common sense and said it benefits gamers because if people were to illegally burn and distribute games the company that sells them could go out of business. Obviously that means the gamers wouldn't be able to obtain official games from the company anymore if they stop selling games. Then I said something like it benefits them because it also prevents them getting into the illegal practice of copying and illegally distributing games.

That's not under the copyright law. That's piracy law.
Sometimes I think exam boards aren't thinking when they write the questions.

You could possibly argue that, by preventing piracy, it makes it easier for game developers to stay in business and in turn encourages more people to go into game development, in turn increasing the number and quality of games being released?

Oops, I didn't write what I meant to write. I meant by preventing game ideas from being stolen, not by preventing piracy.
