The static dielectric function epsilon(q, 0) of the molten copper halides at two temperatures near melting are obtained in the hypernetted chain approximation using the effective pair potentials constructed by Stafford et al and their behaviour related to the onset of freezing. The epsilon(q, 0) results for the copper halides are found to mimic the behaviour of the classical one-component plasma with plasma parameter Gamma = 90.
