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

Why choose B?

Thanks

B: 非法拷贝程序的人不会买程序,即使买是唯一的途径

所以B说明这些人如果不拷贝也不会买.

不好意思,还是没有太清楚这里的逻辑。

Most of the illegal copying is done by people with no serious interest in the programs.

这句话和答案是怎么联系在一起的呢?

今天脑子反应不过来了,

帮解释一下整个题目吧,谢谢。

对于computer industry's来说, 只有对程序感兴趣的人才会去购买程序
如果大部分对程序感兴趣的人都通过非法拷贝来获得程序的话.那么computer industry将会流失很多潜在的顾客,(潜在顾客在没有非法拷贝的情况下,只能购买正版;一旦可以非法拷贝,他们就不会去买正版)因而只有对程序真正需要,真正感兴趣的人才能造成损失。所以说, the loss to the industry is quite small

但如果大部分非法拷贝都是由对程序不感兴趣的人做的话,那么这部分人不属于潜在顾客,不管在什么情况下,他们都不会去购买正版,因此,不能算成是公司的损失

呵呵,但愿有所帮助~

恩,只有那些如果不通过非法拷贝程序则需要购买的人才是潜在顾客,失去他们才是公司的损失。谢谢楼上的.
