OG11 REVIEW-43

Which of the following best completes the passage below?
The computer industry’s estimate that it loses millions of dollars when users illegally copy programs without paying for them is greatly exaggerated. Most of the illegal copying is done by people with no serious interest in the programs. Thus, the loss to the industry is quite small, because
(A) many users who illegally copy programs never find any use for them
(B) most people who illegally copy programs would not purchase them even if purchasing them were the only way to obtain them
(C) even if the computer industry received all the revenue it claims to be losing, it would still be experiencing financial difficulties
(D) the total market value of all illegal copies is low in comparison to the total revenue of the computer industry
(E) the number of programs that are frequently copied illegally is low in comparison to the number of programs available for sale.

"how we can conclude that the people who illegal copy the program have no serious interest on program only cause small loss of the sales?"

og explanation

Reasoning: Why would the loss to the industry be said to be small? The
industry’s loss due to illegal copying of programs must be evaluated in
terms of the sales lost; the actual loss to the industry is directly
related to the legitimate sales opportunities that have been lost.
Would the people illegally copying the programs buy them if they could
not otherwise obtain them? If it were true that most of them have no serious interest in the programs, they would be unlikely to purchase them. In this case, few sales would be lost and the loss to the industry could be considered small.

Still confused.
