Many people acquire software programs for their home computers by illegally copying those programs rather than purchasing them.

Poeple do not buy programs but use pirates or illegal copies. This is in general

People who own home computers must be making, on average, fewer illegal copies of software programs than before, however, since the average number of software programs that people purchase to use on their home computers has increased substantially over the past five years.

BUT who owns home computer bought in the past five years more LEGAL copies


We have to reinforce the argument

(A) The number of home computers in use has increased substantially over the past five years.

The number of computers sold and installed at home is out of scope. Our concern are the PROGRAM legally sold

(B) Five years ago, about half of the software programs used on home computers had been illegally copied rather than purchased.

We do not care of the software used BUT purchaced

(C) Most people who have home computers use their computers more frequently the longer they have them.

The home computer usage is out of scope

(D) Few people who prefer to copy computer software programs illegally cannot copy the software programs they want because they have no acquaintances who have those software programs.

The skills and the fact that people who have home computer do not know how to copy a program, cracking it or if the are able to insert a disc into the DVD reader is out of scope

(E) On average, people with home computers have the same number of software programs today as people with home computers did five years ago.


Correct the program five years ago and now matches perfectly the computer at home = the program are legal

Thank you for the explanation.
