I don't understand: with the word "present" in mind, doesn't the passage suggest that, if strengthened, the laws would allow this, but not in their current form?

You tried to change question itself without noticing you were doing so. The question asked the current copyright law which is clearly described in the passage. But the answers it gives make you consider the passage as a whole, which is not required by the question.

S Aug,
This is a good question.
In the second paragraph, we have the following text:
"...current copyright laws give owners of intellectual property the right to sue a distributor of unauthorized copies of their material even if that distributor did not personally make the copies."
Answer choice "D" doesn't specify the method of distribution. It only says authors can sue people who distribute their documents without permission.
The question the passage as a whole tackles is whether or not linking a web page constitutes "distribution."
