We don't know any of that. First, we don't know that pirates would lower their prices further. We can't negate D and then tell ourselves a story about how that might happen. That's beyond what the GMAT can ask of us, and in any case, there are other possible ways that negation might play out. (For instance, pirates might operate at a loss for a while, or offer other incentives, or make the product available even earlier.) Second, even if the pirates had the lowest prices, we don't know what the competition from the legitimate DVDs would look like. People might be willing to pay a bit more for the real thing if it is available promptly for a reasonable price. Third, note that the conclusion isn't saying that piracy will be eliminated, just that the threat will be mitigated, i.e. made less severe. So the argument doesn't require the number of sellers to decrease, just for legitimate sales to gain ground.

Hi VERITASPREP/KARISHMA/ANDREWN.... or Any expert
Please help me to understand why D is incorrect.
when I negate option D
No current sellers of pirated DVDs would likely discontinue their businesses if legitimate DVDs were released faster and priced lower. = they are still selling pirated DVDs so this will not mitigate negative effect of piracy on profit. so this weakening the conclusion.
it is also affecting the logic then why Option D is wrong.

I think that between my comments above and GMAT Ninja's earlier response, we have covered a few angles on why D doesn't work, so feel free to look those over and ask for follow-up. But basically, we don't know that just because pirates are still in business, the effects of piracy have not been mitigated (i.e. lessened). If more people choose to buy the real thing, then the effects of piracy have been mitigated, even if all the pirates still exist.
