35. 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

实在搞不清为什么B能对，为什么盗版的人不买正版的就能说明盗版带来的损失是很小的。。。
求NN解答！！！！

我是用herl的方法来做：原文是一个因果推理，由copy的人没有兴趣推出：loss small，
B选项取非：copy的人在只有正版时还是会购买，可以削弱推理，即没有兴趣的人在只有正版时会购买，loss还是会很大。有因无果推翻原有推理

我的理解是loss是指没有copy时的收益和有copy之后的收益的差别。没有copy只有正版时也不会买的人群不会造成loss。

B的意思是 那些会copy的人 就算要买正版成了唯一的途径 这些人还是不会买
我的理解是最开始就一直copy的人 ...

那不是得有个copy的人数很少的前提，不然他们不去买损失不就大了嘛。。

B的意思是 那些会copy的人 就算要买正版成了唯一的途径 这些人还是不会买
我的理解是最开始就一直copy的人本身就兴趣不是很大 就算copy不到也不会去买
不知道你理解了没有
