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
ETS的解释是The industry's loss is due to illegal copying must be evaluated in terms of sales lost. The actual loss 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 otain them? If it were true that most people had no serious interest in the programs, they would be unlike to purchase them. In this case, few sales would be lost and the loss could be considered small. 不明白紫色划线句的意思，如果人们只是不购买而去用盗版软件，就已经损失了potential sales, 为什么损失还是小的？请NN解释下，非常感谢！ |
