Apologies for the confusion. The correct answer is: "Record companies lose money because people download songs for free online."
The effect of intellectual property theft can be understood by analyzing the options given. Let's go through each option and see which one represents the effect of intellectual property theft.
1. "Record companies lose money because people download songs for free online."
This option correctly identifies one of the effects of intellectual property theft. When people download songs for free online, they are engaging in piracy and not paying for the copyrighted content. As a result, record companies lose potential revenue from the sale of those songs.
2. "Book companies lose money because people download books online."
This option also correctly identifies an effect of intellectual property theft. When people download books online without proper authorization and payment, it amounts to copyright infringement. As a result, book companies lose potential revenue from the sale of those books.
3. "Book companies lose money because of used bookstores."
This option does not represent the effect of intellectual property theft. Used bookstores involve the sale of legally purchased and previously owned books. It is not directly related to piracy or copyright infringement.
4. "Movie companies lose money because people wait for the movies to come on DVD."
This option does not represent the effect of intellectual property theft either. It refers to people choosing to wait for movies to be released on DVD instead of watching them in theaters. While this may affect box office revenue, it is not directly related to intellectual property theft.
In conclusion, option 1 ("Record companies lose money because people download songs for free online") and option 2 ("Book companies lose money because people download books online") are the effects of intellectual property theft.
