This is an resolve, reconcile, explain question, indicated by: Which one of the following, if true, most helps to explain why the company has not taken available legal measures?
The first thing we learn is that the company producing XYZ, a spreadsheet program, believes that millions of illegal copies of its product are being used. Those copies were not paid for, and if they had been the company would have earned millions of dollars more. Makes senses so far! But here is where it gets weird. Although the company is currently trying to boost its sales, the company is not taking any legal action against those who copied the program illegally! You’d expect they’d be trying to clamp down on piracy, so what we are looking for in this question is an answer which explain the company’s decision in a way that is compatible with their overall goal of boosting sales. Let’s take a look at our answers:
Answer Choice (A) Ok, but we’ve been told that it has been copied millions of times, and our whole question is why the company is not going after those who did it.
Answer Choice (B) This just makes things even weirder; legal measures have been an option from the start and the company has not taken them.
Correct Answer Choice (C) If we’re all being honest I’m sure some of you can relate to this, and have pirated a service or abused a free trial policy before you ended up actually purchasing the product. This explains why the company isn’t cracking down; the pirated copies get people to try the service and therefore actually drive sales.
Answer Choice (D) Another answer choice that just makes the discrepancy weirder; if this is the case than that seems like a really significant share of business the company is losing out on by not pursuing legal measures!
Answer Choice (E) We aren’t told whether this has harmed ABC’s sales, so all we really learn is that it is possible to go after illegal copies and in fact the main competition is doing so. The question remains of why XYZ isn’t doing the same.
