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 much smaller than estimated because
(A) many users who illegally copy programs never find any use for them
(B) most of the illegally copied programs would not be purchased 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

OA after some discussions ...

I think it's B. The passage says copying is done by people with no serious interest in the software. Therefore, we can conclude that people who would otherwise not buy the software are the ones doing the copying. This is not a revenue loss to the industry b/c these people would not spend money to obtain the program.

Thanks for your explanation, mschling52! I initially thought the answer should be E. Noe I found out what the mistake I did... Thanks once again, mschling52.

Sorry I forgot to mention the OA. Its B.

I have a doubt in the answer choices.
In option D, which states the total market value of all illegal copies is low in comparison to the total revenue of the computer industry , what is the difference between total revenues and total sales ????

total sales represent the total revenues..dont they ??
Please throw your thoughts.
I'll be very thankful if anyone can answer before 25th, my exam date.

I will go with option B this case
