I mean, usually I don't agree with @Writeacher, but this actually made sense. It's right there in what she said.
The correct option is: Movie companies lose money because people wait for the movies to come on DVD.
To determine the effect of intellectual property theft, we need to consider the impact it has on different industries. Intellectual property theft refers to the unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of protected works, such as movies, books, music, or software, without the permission of the content creators.
While all the options you provided can potentially result in loss of revenue for the respective industries, the specific effect of intellectual property theft is best captured by the option: "Movie companies lose money because people wait for the movies to come on DVD."
Explanation:
1. "Record companies lose money because people download songs for free online": This is indeed a consequence of intellectual property theft as unauthorized downloading and sharing of music deprive record companies of sales revenue.
2. "Book companies lose money because of used bookstores": Although used bookstores may affect new book sales, this is not directly related to intellectual property theft. It is more associated with the second-hand book market.
3. "Book companies lose money because people download books online": This is also a form of intellectual property theft, as unauthorized downloading of books deprives book companies of potential sales.
4. "Movie companies lose money because people wait for the movies to come on DVD": This option suggests that people may choose not to watch movies in theaters and instead wait for the DVD release or online streaming options. While this practice alone may not constitute intellectual property theft, the implication is that potential revenue is lost since people would have to pay to watch the movie in theaters or purchase it legally.
In summary, while all the provided options involve some form of revenue loss for the respective industries, the specific effect of intellectual property theft is best represented by the option where movie companies lose money because people wait for movies to come out on DVD.
