Read the text below. Choose the correct answer for the question.

Sara, who just turned 21 and finished reading three of the most popular books released this year, says that she loves reading. Of course, she does feel a bit guilty about downloading the books illegally – but it’s quite hard for her to find books in English where she lives, and when she does, they are almost always more expensive than she can afford to pay. “I’m not a thief though,” she says, “I would never take something like clothes or food, or steal from a shop. The internet is just different somehow.” This attitude is quite widespread with people worldwide – the US government estimates that almost 20% of books released online are downloaded illegally. And, although Sara claims that books are too expensive to buy, most of these “pirates” are coming from better off families who could actually afford to purchase these books – if they really wanted to. Pirates are very skilled at using social media, as well; it only takes a short viewing of social media to see people asking where to download their next read after their usual website has been shut down. Moreover, people don’t feel particularly guilty about this – much like Sara. Many people claim that if the author is quite successful, then it’s only going to make a small difference. “I mean, if the author is super successful, then one book doesn’t matter,” claimed one person we interviewed. Surprisingly, though, most of the people we interviewed admitted to pirating books for reasons not at all related to money – but to convenience. Many people, including professionals such as doctors, lawyers, and educators, said that they would pirate books in order to preview the book, as they often felt unhappy with books after a purchase. Even further, most people reported no negative effects on their lives – no legal notices, and very little guilt. So what could possibly go wrong? Is it possible to solve the issue of piracy in literature? For now, it’s uncertain. Legal and tech experts describe the process as a game of whack-a-mole – every time they stop one website, two more pop up to replace it. Just this year over 200,000 take-down notices have been distributed in the US and the EU – but every time, the websites just seem to come back. So what can be done? Education seems to be the only thing that works. “I’ve just started selling some art online, and just the other day I saw someone who had stolen one of my designs for a tattoo without asking me – I was super angry!” said Sara, when asked if she know about other situations. “I guess I do get why it could be a problem.”
