Assuming these are the options:
A) Goods would become too inexpensive. B) The government would lose too much tax revenue. C) Producers would be unwilling to produce new goods. D) Consumers would be able to shop for better bargains.
The correct answer would be C) Producers would be unwilling to produce new goods. If pirating were to become widespread, producing new goods would not be profitable enough and would lead to a decrease in production.
