Ramirez: The film industry claims that pirated DVDs, which are usually cheaper than legitimate DVDs and become available well before a film' s official DVD release date, adversely affect its bottom line. But the industry should note what the spread of piracy indicates: consumers want lower prices and faster DVD releases. Lowering prices of DVDs and releasing them sooner would mitigate piracy' s negative effect on film industry profits. The argument above relies on which of the following assumptions?
A: Some people who would otherwise purchase pirated DVDs would be willing to purchase legitimate DVDs if they were less expensive and released earlier than they are now.
B: Current purchasers of pirated DVDs are aware that those DVDs are not authorized by the film industry.
C: Releasing legitimate DVDs earlier would not cause any reduction in the revenue the film industry receives from the films' theatrical release.
D: The film industry will in the future be able to produce DVDs more cheaply than is currently the case.
