But it says there's uncertainty about what is or is not illegal, and the fact that so much on the internet is free only adds to the confusion.
there's uncertainty about: nobody knows for sure 沒有人能確定,沒有人能說得準
uncertainty: the state of being uncertain 猶豫,遲疑,無把握;不確定;不確信;易變;不可靠
There is considerable uncertainty about the company's future.
這家公司的前景相當渺茫.
He had an air of uncertainty about him.

adds to the confusion: makes the situation even less clear 使(問題,情況)變得更加復雜
這里要注意下add to sth這個片語的意思,"to increase sth in size, number, amout etc.".它不僅可以指數量的增加,還可以指規模的擴大,而這里的規模,所指也很廣泛,可以指實際意義上的規模,比如下面一個例子:
The house has been added to (= new rooms, etc. have been built on to it) from time to time.
這房子一次又一次地在擴建.
但也可以指抽象的"規模",比如困難(difficulty),困惑(confusion)等,就是說,使原本困難的事變得更加困難,原來就不清不楚的事情變的更加迷糊.
The bad weather only added to our difficulties.
惡劣的天氣只是增加了我們的困難.
Add to sth這個用法很簡單,也很常見,大家可以通過通讀例句的方法來達到記憶的效果.
