问题     71.The international software market represents a significant business opportunity for U.S. microcomputer software companies, but illegal copying of programs is limiting the growth of sales abroad. If not dealt with quickly, international piracy of software could become one of the most serious trade problems faced by the United States.
    72.Software piracy is already the biggest barrier to U.S. software companies entering foreign markets. One reason is that software is extremely easy and inexpensive to duplicate compared to the cost of developing and marketing the software. The actual cost of duplicating a software program, which may have a retail value of $ 400 or more, can be as little as a dollar or two—the main component being the cost of the diskette. 73. The cost of counterfeiting software is substantially less than the cost of duplicating watches, books, or blue jeans. Given that the difference between the true value of the original and the cost of the counterfeit is so great for software,international piracy has become big business. Unfortunately, many foreign governments view software piracy as an industry in and of itself and look tile other way.
    U.S. firms stand to lose million of dollars in new business, and diminished U.S. sales nut only harm individual firms but also adversely affect the entire U.S. economy.

答案盗版软件的成本比仿冒手表、书籍或蓝布牛仔裤的成本要低得多。鉴于正版软件的价值和盗版软件的成本十分悬殊,国际上盗版活动十分猖獗。遗憾的是,许多外国政府自然而然地把盗版软件本身看作是一个产业,对盗版活动睁一只眼,闭一只眼。
