The company that produces XYZ, a computer spreadsheet program, estimates that millions of illegally reproduced copies of XYZ are being used. If legally purchased, this number of copies would have generated millions of dollars in sales for the company, yet despite a company-wide effort to boost sales, the company has not taken available legal measures to prosecute those who have copied the program illegally.
Which one of the following, if true, most helps to explain why the company has not taken available legal measures?
(A) XYZ is very difficult to copy illegally, because a sophisticated anticopying mechanism in the program must first be disabled.
(B) The legal measures that the company that produces XYZ could take against those who have copied its product became available several years before XYZ came on the market.
(C) Many people who purchase a software program like XYZ are willing to purchase that program only after they have already used it.
(D) The number of illegally reproduced copies of XYZ currently in use exceeds the number of legally reproduced copies currently in use.
(E) The company that produces ABC, the spreadsheet program that is XYZ's main rival in the marketplace, is well known for taking legal action against people who have copied ABC illegally.

The Q is not of difficulty since they have already been copied..
the Q is why company is not keen on legal measures avail
(B) The legal measures that the company that produces XYZ could take against those who have copied its product became available several years before XYZ came on the market.
If the legal measures were avail, company should have used it..

the illegal copying helps the company as the product is distributed to wider set of people and these people may later buy original
(D) The number of illegally reproduced copies of XYZ currently in use exceeds the number of legally reproduced copies currently in use.

Paraphrasing this one we get that some people may need illegal copies to start using this software, otherwise, they would not buy it.
